Settling In

Chestnuts... (2/5)
Originally uploaded by Thorsten (TK)

So we are settling into our new location in a different neighborhood of Victoria, but we are certainly not unpacked. Yes we have moved again because of the need for more space but we haven't moved far from our last location. We are slowly going through our storage and trying to part with as many things as we possibly do not use. We have less furniture this time around and so unpacking is a wee bit harder a task at the present moment.

While taking a nice stroll on our day off today with P, we both counted moving roughly 4 times in the past 5 years. That's a lot of moves if you really ask me. Add an extra 2 moves from Europe, France and Switzerland and I've done about 8 moves in the last 8 years. Phew - I'm tired just thinking about it all!


There have been many things on my mind lately, considering my lack of posts. Here's a summary of a few of them.

1. Roasting Chestnuts (see yummy photo) - I found this easy roasting recipe. I had no idea it was that easy to do in an oven.
2. Cooking in the oven, and more eating as I haven't had one for the past year!
3. Swimming way too much and not having the energy to blog.
4. Wanting to do more photography and post it but not having the energy or time to do it.
5. Wishing and wanting a vacation but will have to enjoy my few days off that I have around town.
6. Add to that the lack of sunshine, and I can only dream of being on the opposite side of the equator for the next 6 months!

Winter Bliss

We are living in a Winter Bliss here in Victoria. Besides being very creative when walking on the side walk and trying not to walk in 6 inches or more of snow melt, I've stayed relatively warm and dry.

I went out yesterday and took a few more photos from around the area. Perhaps I will post a few more photos. But more snow is in the forecast which probably means this will be the first Canada Wide White Christmas in a long while. Thank goodness I don't have to worry about taking a plane!

I do plan on taking a break from the next photo hunt and won't be blogging like most everyone else right now. We are out and about the next few days anyhow.

Wishing you Happy and Safe Holidays until the new year!

My Night Adventure

I'm really tired but wanted to share this evening in Vancouver with you.

That's it, no manipulation, just what the eye saw.
