We rented a car on Saturday and went exploring the mountains that we can see from our bedroom window. This past Monday was a Family Day in Alberta, so we had a long weekend and could spend Saturday shopping – yes still lots of stuff missing from the flat and also go on the tour […]

We went to see Diana Krall in concert yesterday at Jubilee Auditorium. It looked liked all seats were sold out. Diana Krall is one of my husband’s favourites and he has already been to her concert in Barcelona 3 years ago. I started listening to her when my husband moved his iPod to our flat […]
Working from home and for yourself has it’s comforts and challenges. The comforts are well discussed – not having to dress up or travel to work, taking breaks when you need to, being able to set your own schedule, not having to do things that you don’t think are wise, the list could go on… […]
Yesterday we celebrated the anniversary with my husband of when we decided to give each other a second chance. It was February 10, 2011 when I had flown to London for my CTI coaching course for the weekend and we met up for dinner in London for the third time, but this time we took […]

That has been quite depressing and instead of following my list, I have been doing all kinds of other things including surfing the net, answering Facebook posts etc – […]
We are moving into our new flat where we will stay for a year on Friday. The flat is unfurnished, so we have had to go shopping a lot. Hurraay! many will say, but in reality it is quite a hard job if you have to find things and quickly. Our first experience that I […]
Having lived at fairly homogeneous Estonia for the past 9 years, the variety of Calgary is refreshing. I hear Spanish, Chinese and Russian being spoken every day. (The latter is, of course, being spoken in Estonia every day as well). Most people we speak to have an accent that is not Canadian. Quite many have […]
