Thursday, 24 November:

Happy Thanksgiving! It certainly is a day for the two of us to be thankful. With my getting a job offer and our stuff all arriving from the United States today, we have had quite the wonderful day. The day porter looked on in amazement as the truck showed up and the movers started unloading boxes. He verified our flat number and with eyes the size of dinner plates asked "Where are you going to put all of this?" It's a great question. As it is, we will need to do some serious re-arranging before we are going to be able to go to bed tonight. But with snow on the radar for this weekend, we are going to love having all of our winter gear here.
