Farewell Ferguson!!!!

A few last cuddles for Heather....


A few last cuddles for Andrew (with a concerned look from Lucy)....


Before packing up and heading to his new home, and his new ferret friends...


Thanks for a fun week Ferguson. There may be a ferret in our future... though not too soon!!!!

More adventures with Ferguson

Heather was making apple sauce today. Here's Ferguson's contribution. :) The regular furry residents are getting desperate for life to return to normal!

Another new addition

Okay, so this one is only a temporary guest. One of Heather's clients is adopting this guy, so while he's awaiting the result of his aleutian disease virus test to indicate its safe for him to go home and meet his new housemates, we're the quarantine site.

This is a chance for Andrew to get a look at what living with a ferret is like since he's always thought they were cool. He sleeps a lot, but when he's out of his cage, he's very curious, busy, and potentially destructive. He's already figured out how to open the kitchen cupboards, dig in the house plants, and get up under our sofa. We've named this one Ferguson, although his adopter will name him Nero.


Apparently he likes the cookbook shelf as well.


The regular furry residents will be very glad to see him head to his new, permanent home and for life to return to normal.

We're on Google Street View

Here's the link.

I know, you can't really tell definitively that it is us, but I assure you it is. That's Heather at the back, and Andrew on the front. No prizes for guessing which one of us saw the Google Street View car driving past us on that ride, and I've have been checking for months to see when Street View appeared for this area. Its finally there!

We're out on our epic 10 hour, 200 km ride in Spain. We will (eventually) post the route and report about that ride from our honeymoon one of these days!

Word of the Day

Squintervals.

Running intervals for Heather, chasing after a squirrel with Lucy attached to her waist.

We had a great session of squintervals today!

Hallowe'en Pumpkins

We were tipped off by Heather's boss about a house in the London area on Glenora Drive where they put out a hundred or so cool pumpkins for people to view as part of a food bank drive. The owner of the house carves several of the cooler pumpkins, but local school students are also involved. Enjoy some pretty amazing jack-o-lanterns.





































































































Hey! What is this, two blog posts in one day! Don't worry, it won't keep up at this pace!

A New Family Member

The week before Thanksgiving (Canadian that is), we welcomed the newest member of our family!
Our nice shiney new red Nespresso Citiz machine. This was something we discovered in Paris as the apartment we rented had one that we enjoyed using a great deal in our time there.


No, its not a "true" espresso machine, what with being pod based and all that, but its a lot cheaper than Starbucks! So far, we've been enjoying the opportunity to pull a shot whenever the urge strikes.
