Settling in
November 7, 2006
Broadband arrives tomorrow, but since it has been so long since the last photo of Bea I thought I’d upload one to tide us over.

We’re slowly, slowly getting unpacked and exploring our new neighbourhood. I think we’re living in the right place for us – there is an interesting mix of young hipster types, lots of parents with kids in strollers and the odd crazy guy wandering down the road. I’m ok with the odd crazy guy since the rest of the neighbourhood has so much going for it, and the crazy guys aren’t really that threatening. We went for brunch at Cafe Deux Soleil on sunday, and it reminded me of all the things I loved about the Sugarbowl in Edmonton before it went all upmarket and got rid of the cool tiny tables and beaten up couch and started scaring away the students who wanted to sit and study all day. The food was tasty and veggie and the place was packed with a huge range of people from middle-agers to punks to babies in highchairs. I had a beautiful chai latte, served in a big cup without a handle. And today I found a yoga studio around the corner that offers Satyananda classes instead of the standard hatha/power that is everywhere here. Piece by piece things are falling into place.
