Vancouver
In Vancouver for my brother's graduation. Also a family reunion. My mother, sister and her fiance and my grandmother are also here.
My brother rented a professor's house for us to stay in during our stay here. The professor and his wife are away in Europe on holidays. His house is a veritable shop of antiques and an art gallery. All sorts of interesting curios and objets d'art from all over. Also amazing that they trust strangers to stay in their place stuffed full with treasured items amassed over decades. No small privilege wandering through the interesting house and its beutifully lush garden.
Another small-world coincidence is that my sister's fiance just found out that he actually knows the guy the landlord is staying with in London!

Congratulations to Thi on graduating! and i can imagine smathi going around the house cataloging in photos, all the objects d'art! i'm sure baby ben would have loved to be there too! imagine all the 'toys' that he'd have to play with!
you guys should really see him now! all grown up! soon he'll be going to school, with his school uniform, and his little haversack, and then going to uni, then graduating, then going to army...sniff sniff, they grow up so fast, don't they?
have a great family reunion and do give my regards to all the family and pending in-laws!
