Some photos from the last few days; Our fridge :) Tropicana comes on 3.85ltr bottles yet milk comes in bags?! You don’t buy multi bags of crisps! It is a multi box! Hannah’s Canadian pasty. Thought this would amuse Uncle Paul – its a pudding at Taco Bell All of Hannah’s medical stuff. We almost have our own pharmacy! And she is happy – she gets to have a plaster!! Thank you everyone for our lovely cards – as there is no -one else in the house at the moment we are displaying our cards in the front room :) Hope you like the photos. Happy Easter to everyone. Hannah is cooking us a roast for lunch in our enormous oven! The nurse has visited for the day and Hannah said that it hurt a lot less so that was a nice surprise although it is still very sore to […]

A couple of photos from Thrusday:

So we woke up to snow this morning; pretty awesome! It carried on snowing all day. We took Hannah to the doctors about lunch time today as she has been in a lot of pain; difficulty walking, sitting, standing and pretty much anything! Anyway after a visit to the walk in clinic the nice Irish doctor sent us straight to the emergency room as Hannah had an abscess at the base of her spine – no wonder she was in so much pain!! After a rather minor but painful surgery it is semi better. We will have daily visits from the nurses to change dressings etc which could take months or weeks. That was our day! From midday til now. We found out yesterday that in Canada, whichever mobile network you are on, you have to pay for incoming as well outgoing calls!! There is your interesting fact for the […]

We are now in the house….and it is baking! Brendan thinks it must be about 30 degrees in the house. Outside it is about 5 degrees. Outside is low humidity, with a clear blue sky so feels warmer than 5 degrees. We don’t have much planned for today but we do now have Hannah’s laptop connected to the house internet so will be able to keep in touch. The hire car is a black Dodge Caliber; automatic. Hannah is pleased as she wanted us to have a dodge at some point! We did a bit of shopping in Walmart yesterday and discovered that they rarely do squash you add water too! How strange – so lots of fresh juice or water. We are sharing the house with two guys – Jordan and Nevin who both seem nice. They will be moving out on Thursday but it is nice to have […]

It’s here, our last day.. We had a great leaving do, it was great to see everybody, no worries if you didnt make it! We packed and said goodbye to our parents on sunday. We had an interesting journey in the taxi, it wasnt the regular chap John, it was his wife, who went via the A303. and smoked. and didn’t wear her seatbelt the entire journey! It was great to see Kim, Beccy and Mark at the airport, especially at that time in the morning! Thank you for seeing us off. Hannah’s back is unfortunately still rather painful-making it a struggle to walk. But we are both visa’d up now :) so able to work here. We are now sat in deartures waiting for our connection…studying the Canadian money :) Keep checking for updates! Lots of love to all
