It took two whole weeks and 3+ weekends, but I’ve finally, really, moved in/out. The last thing to move was my array of computers, which I delayed till the very last moment since I wasn’t able to setup Rogers High-speed. I called them again late on a Friday night and was able to setup internet in 5 minutes — and was online 5 minutes after that. I didn’t get 3 months free (just the $100 credit), but I was glad that I was able to set things up smoothly.

On Saturday, Pauline and I went down to Niagara Falls so that Pauline could participate in a conference. I spent my time between meals bumming around the city, which on a hot & sunny day was not too fun. I ended up at the Niagara Falls Botanical Gardens (roses were also melting from the heat), the Sir Adam Beck 2 Power Station and the Canada One outlets on Lundy’s Lane. At night, we went up to the station which shines the (coloured) lights on the Falls and changed the colours around randomly much to the chagrin of the tourists on the street.

I spent Sunday at my third places of recent memory: Dollarama, Walmart, but unfortunately not Ikea. I mentioned how Dollarama is cheap (price-wise), but not surprisingly the household items we buy from there are not designed that well. What is surprising is that when I go to Walmart and buy cheap household items, they DO seem a step-up from the products at Dollarama. I can’t believe I just said that.
