thanks for everyone who replied to my plea for cotton wool and omega eggs! turns out neither are unavailable here, they just aren’t sold at our local safeway or shoppers drug mart. Tom found real cotton wool at london drugs, and I found omega eggs at the corner store across the street from our apartment. go figure that the fancy organic shop doesn’t carry them but the ethnic corner store does.
the house hunt is going well. we decided to rent a car yesterday and drove around for the afternoon looking at neighbourhoods and scoping out rentals. saw a gorgeous place that we’re going to look at properly today, and from the outside it looks absolutely perfect. I’m hesitant to get my hopes up too much in case something falls through but it fits so many of our criteria – close enough to downtown for tom to commute by bike, close to amenities like shops, yoga studios and a community centre for me, and a garden and big patio for louis (and the rest of us, I suppose).
also, if you’re checking in here and wondering why I haven’t written you an email directly, I’m sorry. I haven’t actually emailed anyone since I’ve gotten here although I’ve thought about all the emails I wanted to write. Writing a blog post gets in contact with more people in the same amount of time, but I will start working through my list of individual emails to be written very soon. I haven’t forgotten about you!
