Wednesday 29th. "We're on line."




The phone company said their man would be with us between 8 and 10am – yeah right and monkeys will fly out of my butt. 8.30am, ‘ding, dong’ goes the front door bell and my eyes water as a monkey flies out of my butt. One hour later we have a telephone, TV and internet, all racing around our small house – who can we call first …
After several calls and a quick look on ebay … only joking … we set off down town, in search of a government building to get our ‘SIN numbers’ – (social security numbers). Very easy, walk in, sit down, fill out a form, wait 45 minutes and bingo four SIN numbers. Now we can all go to work. We head off back home via a few shops, of course, and tonight we all eat out at Jane and Lorne Rae’s – our Bed and Breakfast hosts from our previous two trips to Vancouver – they have been so helpful and kind to us – people like these restore ones faith in humanity.
