A week ago now...

So much has happened this week in our lives in Ottawa on the Rideau, we moved into our new home and ran around Customs and other licencing bureau at Service (sic) Ontario to obtain clearance to drive our car.
Unpacked numerous boxes and gave away a ton of all manner of things we no longer want nor need. More to enter the great give away. We want to pear down to be essentials but will still have lots on hand. We accumulate so much in one's lives, it becomes an ever increasing canon ball which only gets bigger with the years. Today I opened quite a few of the wine boxes, that was fun, all these wines we bought in Siena and in Sicily. So we have Tuscan and Sicilian wines. We had a bottle of a very nice red from Sicily tonight with our steaks, from the Duca di Salaparuta Vineyards, Calanica 2009 is very smooth it is a combination of Nero D'avola and Merlot. We bought a case in Trapani in an Enoteca recommended to us by friends.

We are tired from all our doings, it has been a lot of work and it is not finished yet. I return to work next week, will have to continue at night after work to undo boxes, mostly books now and arrange the apartment to be liveable and enjoyable. We are already enjoying our new home, I can sense that we will be happy here.
