I have a new nephew! My big sis Tara gave birth to a beautiful bouncing boy ... um, not sure of the date exactly because of the time difference, but it was Wednesday my time! Hm. Should find that out...

After a few delays my sister Renée arrived on Sunday night - yes, last Sunday, it's been a while since I've had a chance to sit down at the computer! Monday was a public holiday, which was handy, so we took her in to see UofT's campus, which is a spiffy old campus - the buildings were locked up sadly, except Hart House ( Read more... )

I've been slack at updating my LJ lately - fatigue and laziness, mostly. Well and I've been working, which, combined with the crappy humidity, leads to the fatigue and laziness. Seriously, anyone with air conditioning had better bloody realise how comfy they have it! The heat stops me from getting a proper night's rest, and when you have to get up ( Read more... )

As you probably know by now, I periodically - and shamelessly - filch photos off me mum's Flickr and share them 'round. Because, y'know, she has some super-duper shots and I get homesick and I'm not about to wallow in it alone.

It's a GIRL!!!!!! I have a NIECE!!!!!!

Yay! I mentioned in my last post that she was due anytime now. Well, my sister Fer just had her baby, hasn't been weighed yet or anything but Fer is well and the baby's healthy and, in her husband's words, they're not going to throw her back! :D

*jumps up and down and whoops to no one 'cause she's home all

I stole these from my sister's blog, they're photos of Mum's garden from last weekend when they held Fer's 40th birthday there. It's only one part of the garden. Isn't it beautiful? This is where Adam and I are planning to have our wedding in a couple of years - same time of year, so this'll be more or less what it'll look like: rose blooming time ( Read more... )
