Back into Canada mode

After long chats with both my brothers, and Pete's girlfriend - I am now back into Canada mode and long to be there with them.

I have applied for another gas-fitting job for Gman and am in the process of applying for a job for him working for one of the local school districts too.

The gadgetkids are really keen and keep asking us when we are going.

It is difficult to sit at this computer after a long day at work and evenings of family routines and scroll through job banks and edit resumes and cover letters but it's our only hope if we want to live to the area that we do on Vancouver Island.

I also need to read and digest the provincial nomination programe web site so that I can encourage prospective employers to consider this program as a way to fill a vacancy by employing Gman. Unemployment in BC is down to 3% as it is in Alberta so filling posts advertised must become more difficult as fewer candidates apply.

My mother has put her house up for sale with the intention of going later this year.

We still have quite a bit to do here on the house but have now finished the front garden, and have had an open fireplace since Christmas too.

Lovely for the chilly evenings.
