Actually, I believe that sounds vaguely rude…but it'll stand for now (OK, I'm going to quit now before I lose my PG rating.)

So we're in. Still a ton of boxes to empty but some of the rooms are actually semi-habitable now. And the storage area is only mildly bulging at the seams. Wait until I get all my musical instruments in. Then we'll really see how we're doing.

It's VERY beautiful here. The light and the air are wonderful. It's a chore to commute to work every day. Even though the train passes along the lakeshore for large chunks of the journey, it's not the same as looking out and seeing that horizon or hearing the sound of ducks. And the commute is just long enough that you realize that a chunk is being eaten out of your day. I'm sure I'll get used to it. Heck, the transit commute in T.O. was not that much shorter and it went by in a flash. Didn't even notice it.

Life is still very much up in the air at the moment. At work, all my freelancers are wandering all over the map for the summer and it's hard to come up with stuff to work on. I spend all my time chasing people to see what they have.
And I'm steering clear of gigs for a spell. I have one rehearsal with Taliesin on the weekend for a single gig in August and from then on there's nothing until the annual Friends of Fiddlers Green weekend after Labour Day.
I'm down to one 'reason to pick up my instrument' per month! THAT's thin on the ground for sure!

Maybe I should go buy a new amp to console myself…….
