Ed wonders: "how do you seem to have bought a house? Isn't that a little like being half pregnant?"
Well. We have made an offer. The offer has been accepted. The bank says we can have a mortgage, but the papers haven't come back yet as 'approved'. Then it has to go to Land Titles. So, in theory we have bought a house. In practice, we'll see. It's nice, though, four bedrooms and a view of the bay.

Things this weekend.
1. We seem to have bought a house. More about this later.
2. Roli ate Kirsten's Skype headset. Narrowly escaped with his life.
3. My grannie has been released from the nursing home, but is so confused now that she keeps asking my aunt when she can go home. My aunt keeps patiently explaining that she is home.
4. The bishop was in town. So we had communion.
5. The heat is working again in the church. Which means that all the flies dormant in the walls woke up, flew around, and died on the floor.
(Else, if thou wilt not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thy houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground whereon they are. Exodus 8:21)
This necessitated the ceremonial Vacuuming of the Flies in the three minutes prior to the service. Kirsten felt we should perhaps be standing for that.
6. Rachel leaves for Florida on Tuesday, so she's in a state of high anticipation.
7. We took the snowmobile across the bay, Ian fell off the komatik and we had to go back for him, and later we were chased by a pack of loose dogs.
