I'm getting a French AuPair called Amandine Delpeuche. She arrives soon. Can u believe that is the cheapest childcare I can find? A live in AuPair.<br />We are all eagerly waiting to meet Yosi's family at the end of May. Lesa has sent a schedule, name tags and script and we are ready, set....<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Tashe</span><br />Her recent disastrous foray into the game of basketball was followed by some shocking success at Volleyball! So we best stop there. She continues to get good grades (although Eva sat her down after her last report to sternly enquire why she got only 96% in English). She still has issues with 'mean' girls but has recently been chosen as a champion for 'project good role model'<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sunjo</span><br />Is the star football striker with 7 goals in 2 games this season! He recently remarked that Asamoah Gyan was the greatest football player ever. 4 DVDs later ( Pele & Maradona's greatest hits) and he was crushed into submission. He is finding that being elected to the student government involves too many meetings at recess. This experience might have soured any political ambition.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Zanga</span><br />We are still trying to work out exactly what sport Zanga likes. He continues to be the most popular child in the family, with lots of requests for playdates. We recently decided to have a daily dinner tradition where each person round the table states what 'random act of kindness' they performed during the day. Zanga always tops the list closely followed by Sunjo. I'm afraid Tashe and I struggle and are constantly disqualified.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Eva</span><br />Is on cloud nine after watching ManU beat Chelsea( 2-1) live at Old Trafford last weekend. He walks around singing: 'Who are ya, Who are ya!' & 'Can you here us Merseyside' & 'You're not singing anymore'back on the farmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12694206697583675576noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-363838000426992383.post-6222385692323249992011-01-21T12:34:00.003+00:002011-01-21T16:21:39.899+00:00Happy Birthday to Mia And Ella!I don't suppose the twins are checking the blog each day but here's to a very Happy Birthday (for tomorrow) to Mia and Ella from all of us in the UK - have an excellent day girls!billboldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03757294258162470613noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-363838000426992383.post-91205396272299716752010-11-01T16:47:00.003+00:002010-11-01T17:24:20.324+00:00Norwich Evening News, Tuesday, October 12, 2010<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3-G6mdSxU-8/TM7wG9hF5SI/AAAAAAAAA3k/BAlwpj3BA9A/s1600/Norwich+evening+news.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 211px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3-G6mdSxU-8/TM7wG9hF5SI/AAAAAAAAA3k/BAlwpj3BA9A/s320/Norwich+evening+news.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5534624994468160802" border="0" /></a>Congratulations!<br /><br />65 years is a truly amazing achievement.

Chil had bought the first bike that she's ever owned, I've got one for the first time in about 10 years and we've even got a little trailer for the girls!

Our friend Yvonne's place was really nice and had home comforts I'd not imagined: the fridge was plumbed in to provide chilled filtered water and ice, the BBQ was plumbed in to the gas, there was forced air conditioning (and forced air heating for the winter) and even centrally piped vacuum, you just push a hose into the wall! But it's great to have our own place again and we are getting more and more settled in. We've got some really great neighbours and the Glebe is a lovely area to live in with a lot of stuff for kids to do. We have a spare room so can start accepting visitors straight away!<br /><br />The slow, some say catatonic, pace of life is taking a bit of getting used to, but we have not been deterred by Ottawa being called "the town that fun forgot" and have unearthed some fun anyway.<br /><br />Our big news is that we have some childcare for the girls, a nanny for 4 days a week so Chil can start thinking about her career again. The girls seem to enjoy getting out in the Glebe during the day and about and apparently their antics get all the other kids laughing. We also have a babysitter so we can explore Ottawa in the evenings a little. I'm well settled in at work at CHEO, they are a friendly bunch and it's great to finish in the operating room at 15:30 so I cycle home and can see the girls in the park before 4!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3-G6mdSxU-8/TF7jMkhoEeI/AAAAAAAAA1g/aNddOQvprJs/s1600/DSC00568.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3-G6mdSxU-8/TF7jMkhoEeI/AAAAAAAAA1g/aNddOQvprJs/s320/DSC00568.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503085599795974626" border="0" /></a>Last weekend we went to visit the cottage of some friends, about a 90 minute drive from home in Quebec. It's amazing to be right out in bear country, off the electricity grid and by a quiet lake after such a short time on the road. It took us about 90 minutes to get from Tooting to Islington on a Saturday afternoon, a considerably less picturesque drive. The girls enjoyed splashing about looking for frogs. Little fearless Wamaka wanted to head for the middle of the lake and as always took some dissuading. We ended up drying off in front of a campfire where the girls managed to get toasted marshmallow hair.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3-G6mdSxU-8/TF7jDd-QSVI/AAAAAAAAA1Y/S1GrMzY9Vqo/s1600/DSC00562.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3-G6mdSxU-8/TF7jDd-QSVI/AAAAAAAAA1Y/S1GrMzY9Vqo/s320/DSC00562.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503085443418179922" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3-G6mdSxU-8/TF7iqtTyp8I/AAAAAAAAA1Q/hEccNCDQFgc/s1600/DSC00563.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3-G6mdSxU-8/TF7iqtTyp8I/AAAAAAAAA1Q/hEccNCDQFgc/s320/DSC00563.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503085018038314946" border="0" /></a><br />Namwezi and Wamaka are saying more and more words: hi, bye bye, yes, no, more, all gone, dog-dog, woof woof, miaow, up, socks and their favourite - shoes.

We have been given a very warm welcome by our friend Yvonne who has kindly offered to house us for the rest of this month and for July in her beautiful home in leafy Glebe. It's a much shower pace of life than Toronto and we have been adjusting to all the other differences of the nation's capital. In particular, the Ottawa recycling and refuse system is pretty complex. Ultimately I put out the neighbours trash by mistake after quite a lot of poking around to check everything had gone in the right bins. Apparently the neighbour thought I was one of the homeless people who searches the bins for the bottle deposits, which doesn't say much for how well I was looking with the jet lag.<br /><br />We have already experienced very hot days, a heavy rain storm and a 5.5 earthquake which slightly curtailed Chil's shopping for suddenly needed summer clothes. Most of our time has been taken up with trying to find a place to live although we've found time to keep up with the World Cup and to explore this part of Ottawa. We haven't found a place yet but are starting to get a feel for the city. Next week Wednesday is Canada day, a national holiday, and I start work the Monday after.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3-G6mdSxU-8/TCgTB9DfTCI/AAAAAAAAA1A/lryqu3v3S6U/s1600/P1050807.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3-G6mdSxU-8/TCgTB9DfTCI/AAAAAAAAA1A/lryqu3v3S6U/s320/P1050807.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487657070240943138" border="0" /></a><br />A performance on the Trinidadian national instrument, the bottle and spoon, at the Ottawa Jazz Festival, by the excellent <a href="http://www.myspace.com/kobotown">Drew Gonsalves</a> and the <a href="http://www.mikeessoudry.com/music.htm">Mash Potato Mashers</a>.back on the farmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12694206697583675576noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-363838000426992383.post-80591218153423195732010-06-18T18:58:00.003+00:002010-06-18T19:19:11.637+00:00Before You Leave . . .<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3TgTw7H0kBc/TBvGbThNbJI/AAAAAAAAAFI/zJJQ8X9nVmo/s1600/09+Jun+2010_1002.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3TgTw7H0kBc/TBvGbThNbJI/AAAAAAAAAFI/zJJQ8X9nVmo/s320/09+Jun+2010_1002.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5484195143652043922" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3TgTw7H0kBc/TBvGazF0fpI/AAAAAAAAAFA/PRl9cGuKoXI/s1600/09+Jun+2010_0999.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3TgTw7H0kBc/TBvGazF0fpI/AAAAAAAAAFA/PRl9cGuKoXI/s320/09+Jun+2010_0999.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5484195134947229330" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3TgTw7H0kBc/TBvGahOeKKI/AAAAAAAAAE4/emX4L2UGwD4/s1600/09+Jun+2010_0997.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3TgTw7H0kBc/TBvGahOeKKI/AAAAAAAAAE4/emX4L2UGwD4/s320/09+Jun+2010_0997.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5484195130151676066" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3TgTw7H0kBc/TBvGaKj2W3I/AAAAAAAAAEw/D_5NTTs3_JU/s1600/09+Jun+2010_0995.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3TgTw7H0kBc/TBvGaKj2W3I/AAAAAAAAAEw/D_5NTTs3_JU/s320/09+Jun+2010_0995.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5484195124067326834" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3TgTw7H0kBc/TBvGZy6ab1I/AAAAAAAAAEo/LfTlplbSMfY/s1600/09+Jun+2010_0993.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3TgTw7H0kBc/TBvGZy6ab1I/AAAAAAAAAEo/LfTlplbSMfY/s320/09+Jun+2010_0993.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5484195117719514962" border="0" /></a><br />It was really great to see Dylan and the girls in Norfolk last week. The girls were remarkably well behaved and Dylan wasn't too bad either; he seems to be getting the hang of almost single-handedly looking after Namwezi and Wamaka. Respect!<br /><br />I thought I ought to post a few shots from their couple of days here. We went for lunch to the Wiveton Hall Cafe (Big House near the coast at Blakeney, small, informal bistro-type cafe and lots of acres of strawberries in tunnels and in the open air, plus asparagus and soft fruit bushes) and we witnessed exactly how much The Twins like strawberries . . . lots!<br /><br />Hope you like these few pictures. We take this opportunity of wishing Chil, Dylan and The Twins a smooth and trouble-free flight to Ottawa and trust that all your planning will make the next few weeks easier for you all.oldbouldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08856681016155987275noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-363838000426992383.post-41893945909644809552010-06-18T09:15:00.007+00:002010-06-18T09:33:55.512+00:00Leaving for Ottawa<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3-G6mdSxU-8/TBs8CcUZDzI/AAAAAAAAA0Y/8G8iUhpKrfE/s1600/P1050390.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3-G6mdSxU-8/TBs8CcUZDzI/AAAAAAAAA0Y/8G8iUhpKrfE/s320/P1050390.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5484042983912836914" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3-G6mdSxU-8/TBs7vlpzadI/AAAAAAAAA0Q/tNMLPjhxlUE/s1600/P1050115.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3-G6mdSxU-8/TBs7vlpzadI/AAAAAAAAA0Q/tNMLPjhxlUE/s320/P1050115.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5484042660001049042" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3-G6mdSxU-8/TBs7RuAFqRI/AAAAAAAAA0I/mG_AtzonBdk/s1600/P1050640.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3-G6mdSxU-8/TBs7RuAFqRI/AAAAAAAAA0I/mG_AtzonBdk/s320/P1050640.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5484042146845927698" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3-G6mdSxU-8/TBs6zTtzZXI/AAAAAAAAA0A/btMsf2T0KXQ/s1600/P1050571.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3-G6mdSxU-8/TBs6zTtzZXI/AAAAAAAAA0A/btMsf2T0KXQ/s320/P1050571.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5484041624393835890" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3-G6mdSxU-8/TBs6S7i9_wI/AAAAAAAAAz4/cRskYY6q_kc/s1600/P1050371.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3-G6mdSxU-8/TBs6S7i9_wI/AAAAAAAAAz4/cRskYY6q_kc/s320/P1050371.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5484041068150128386" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3-G6mdSxU-8/TBs5ztF3vII/AAAAAAAAAzw/mHKNKZu5Fk0/s1600/P1050360.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3-G6mdSxU-8/TBs5ztF3vII/AAAAAAAAAzw/mHKNKZu5Fk0/s320/P1050360.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5484040531694042242" border="0" /></a><br />We haven't had much time to post or upload pictures recently so here are a few from our last month or so in England. We'll arrive in Ottawa on Sunday afternoon and are staying with a friend for the first month. We'll be sure to update you when we have a proper address but in the mean time email is probably the best way to get hold of us. We'll keep you posted!<br /><br />Dylanback on the farmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12694206697583675576noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-363838000426992383.post-56379752355804430062010-05-31T19:02:00.003+00:002010-05-31T19:22:12.016+00:00Oldabould's stll awake!Hello all! I'm still here and getting about but slowly and not very far. We have been in the throes of decorating our sleeping quarters and things have been a bit hectic but we are I hope) back in some sort of business - its just that everything seems to take abit longer. I have't yet brought myself up to date on the blog and again its seems to me that I'm doing things backwards - you will get used to it perhaps!Oldabouldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13333335843971108685noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-363838000426992383.post-60204546632274424332010-05-08T15:30:00.003+00:002010-05-08T15:43:13.796+00:00Twins in Norfolk<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aMbxV_SWoys/S-WGZpVnP5I/AAAAAAAAAAk/c1OuXJraq50/s1600/DSC00053.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aMbxV_SWoys/S-WGZpVnP5I/AAAAAAAAAAk/c1OuXJraq50/s320/DSC00053.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468925097662693266" border="0" /></a><br />Here are a couple of pictures from the twins recent visit<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aMbxV_SWoys/S-WFObVynLI/AAAAAAAAAAc/EqIyBpUCvAA/s1600/DSC00053.JPG"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aMbxV_SWoys/S-WFNkHRzaI/AAAAAAAAAAU/JGWDNk3iPpQ/s1600/DSC00049.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aMbxV_SWoys/S-WFNkHRzaI/AAAAAAAAAAU/JGWDNk3iPpQ/s320/DSC00049.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468923790590332322" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aMbxV_SWoys/S-WFNbtLqMI/AAAAAAAAAAM/nl2InqFEKjI/s1600/DSC00048.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aMbxV_SWoys/S-WFNbtLqMI/AAAAAAAAAAM/nl2InqFEKjI/s320/DSC00048.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468923788333394114" border="0" /></a>Oldabouldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13333335843971108685noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-363838000426992383.post-77613638306136511142010-04-13T20:55:00.001+00:002010-04-13T20:58:42.342+00:00Oldabouldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13333335843971108685noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-363838000426992383.post-67395080734714562692010-04-06T20:25:00.000+00:002010-04-06T20:26:22.805+00:00Oldabouldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13333335843971108685noreply@blogger.com0
