On penny farthings and a return to work

Mummy has sent me this picture of a picture of two of my great great uncles with penny farthings. They and their two siblings, one of which is my great grandmother, are in front of Bishop's Court where they lived with their parents and grandfather. The latter was the Anglican Bishop of Montreal. Bishop's Court was just above the Anglican Cathedral, thus between Eaton's and Morgan's Department Store (now the Bay). The family kept a cow on the premises to insure a supply of reliable milk.

In other news, on Monday, I finally managed to secure a doctor's note saying I am fit enough to return to work part time. The plan is to start on Monday. Me being me, I am both nervous and hopeful.
