You'd never believe it, I DON"T!
Well who’d believe it…?
Woke up this morning, thought it was going to be like any other normal Monday morning, not much achieved, rather boring, I’m like Garfield, hate Monday’s
Oh how wrong I was!
Well, Billy and me decided to buy a house. Yes you read correct… a goddam house! It’s been on the cards for a few months now, we’d been umming and ahhring about it but hadn’t really seen anything that suited what we wanted. We had specific ideas in mind about what and where we wanted. Anyway cut a long story rather short, we spotted this property, which is literally less than 500 metres from the beach in a really good area. The house is an absolute shitter but we are planning on knocking it down and re-building in a few years time. The plan is either to sell it for an (enormous!!!) profit or to rent it out… time will tell though. Very important factor in buying this house was when we walked in and shut the front door, you could hear the ocean… horrah to that! One other point to consider is that I can now eventually buy a frickin dog. Now everyone knows that this is a rather important factor in my life. Oh and the beach that is LESS THAN 500m away, luckily for me, is a dog beach, couldn’t be better (most beaches you aren’t allowed to take the leach of the dog when you walk them). It was meant to be :o)
So the conclusion is: the vendor accepted our offer and we put a deposit down on the house and now putting all our faith in the solicitors hands to make it a speedy process. There is a guy renting out the place at the mo and we are trying to get him the hell out of there so we can make the place a bit more habitable, paint etc. Anyone that likes a bit of DIY is more than welcome to come over and help us in the process. I’ll have to send photos soon when it’s all official. I don’t want to get too excited until we have exchanged on it.
So with that rather crazy news out of the way, we had a lovely anniversary, Cirque de Soleil was spectacular, the new show is called Varekai, anyone who hasn’t seen it, I fully recommend going. We ended up going out for dinner and drinks after that with a group of mates and then checked into one of the best hotels in Sydney, called the Observatory. Quite spectacular. Ate in their award winning restaurant that night and spoiled ourselves rotten. It was shame to have to go to work the next day. Lovely weekend had though.
All else is pretty cool, still on the countdown to go to New Zealand and hopefully when we get back mid-Sept, we will have a house to move in to. I can’t wait to be able to say to one and all that you will be officially allowed and invited to come and stay whenever you want. Only problem is that the place is so tiny you could just about swing a hamster so we may have to convert the lounge into your bedroom but hey… its still a place to sleep for free, so bookings will be taken when we exchange on it!
Love to one and all
