566 days ago I started my blog! It was to be something to inspire me to keep plugging away at fixing up my home, saving and planning for Canadian adventures ahead...a journal of the progress. You could say, I am a bit shit at blogging! But the progress happened regardless...
In 566 days in a nutshell:
- I did fix up that damn house (and when I say "I" it really means my Dad, my brother-in-law, my ex-boyfriend, my nephew, my housemate, the rest of my family, my friends - all the able bodied in my life)
- We fixed that house good! It was FINALLY the way I wanted it to look after 6 years and then I promptly moved out and renters moved in. Sigh.
- I moved to Canada in Dec 2010
- I did the "Aussie thing" and moved to a ski town....had a fabulous time...met great people and spent all my money.
- Moved to Calgary, Alberta. Cow Town. I've not seen one cow (except at Stampede and I reckon they were bulls anyway)
- Did some grand Canadian sightseeing - slowly checking off the local beers, wildlife and attractions Canada has to offer.
Over 566 days I have worked out that although things can get tough (and they did at times) I have a pretty shiny life and I have some really random shit to share.
Hence the name change.
