Another PG Listing today!  December is turning out to be amazing - 300% better than September, when we had no listings at all!  I'm ok with doing a Listing up until mid-week next week, but not much point after that unless someone contacts us directly.  But we are gearing up to hit January full-force!


The house is all decorated now and is looking very nice - as usual will likely put a few more things up as days go by.  I love having a White Christmas, but most definitely don't like driving in snow / ice - so I will enjoy looking at lovely Christmas pictures like this one!


Mailed Ian & Corrie's Christmas package yesterday - it was made very heavy by a textbook Heather sent them!  Environmental Ethics.


We had a Snowfall Warning yesterday, but it was cancelled and only amounted to maybe an hour of sleety rain mid-day.  It was also supposed to snow in the Malahat area overnight and this morning but from what I can see on the webcams I am very lucky - bare and wet and 2deg. 


Grant was off this Tuesday, and I think plans on working thru the weekend so others can have the weekend off.  I think the plan is to take Tuesday off, and maybe do a couple of partial days.

This will be a different Christmas this year - first one that Ian will not be home for Christmas.  He and Corrie are having Christmas with Corrie's family in Aurora, ON.  So glad we saw them when we were back east for the PG Conference in October!


Its cool this morning - still minus 2 - but luckily so far its quite sunny.  Getting cloudier, and tomorrow is supposed to be rainy with possible white stuff. Yuck - I'd prefer just sun!


We will be having a change in International Students after Christmas.  The Homestay Coordinator has found Ji won a new Host Family closer to the school - actually across the street from the school.  So I'm guessing he is pleased about that.  She will be moving him on the 28th.  And on Jan. 1st we get a girl from China who is also moving Host Families to be closer to the school - Sherry is currently with a family up on Lost Lake Rd, so her move does make more sense to me.  I will be picking her up at the airport when she returns from Christmas break at home in China.  Not sure where she is from, as all I know is her flights are to/from Shanghai.
