55 Falby Court, Ajax

The apartment was on the seventh floor of the building, which was about a five minute walk to Dowty across the playing field, that walk of course would be longer with three foot of snow on the surface.

A kitchen, a dining area, a TV area (for our latest acquisition) and a couple of bedrooms. It was so much better than the motel, of course, the motel had several items that the apartment did not have, beds being an example.

On the 16th of January we bought a sofa-bed from Sears, which would not be delivered until a few days after we moved in, so we bought some foam to sleep on at Zellers. In retrospect, an inflatable camp bed would have been a better idea, but there was too much going on to think in a practical manner.

We moved in on the 18th of January, the kettle, the cups, the spoons and the popcorn popper found their way into the kitchen, the TV was perched on a cardboard box in the main room and our foam was laid down in the bedroom.

In the corner by the kitchen, a patio set including plastic chairs was our pride and joy, kindly loaned to us by Reg Creed.

It was a start.
