First Daze of School

It's been a fast few days.  I hit the ground running as the school introduced me to their administrative softwares, and I did my best to try and absorb as much as I could in a jet lagged haze.  Over the weekend I shopped and enjoyed a quiet night in.  On sunday I journeyed out with a friend from Nipissing and we walked out on the pier in Cleethorpes.  All in all the town of Grimsby is a bit sketchy but I like the home I've found and will settle in here for a while.  School today was a bit more enjoyable, I actually had the opportunity to teach.

This is the view of where I am staying from the park across the street.  A river is directly in front of me. My house is the white door, the one in front of the car.


This is a view around the corner from where I am staying.  This was a fishing community and a few years ago the government changed the fishing rules and in doing so the community has succumbed to a terrible depression.


This is the beach at Cleethorpes.  The tide was out and the community was out cleaning up the beach and enjoying the beautiful weather.  It was 23 degrees.




 The gardens are still in bloom.




These Geese may be enjoyable to look at but the neighbour next door feeds them at 6:30am and while their noise is bearable, the poop is disgusting.


A post office box.  I felt silly taking a picture but it is soooo neat.

  1. Really liked your pics. I know what you mean about too much poop being on the streets and sidewalks. It is disgusting stepping into it. Unlike your 23C we have been having overnight temps of 3C. It is duvet time. Cheers.
