The peace ends

[gemfyre]

I signed a lease today. I'll be beginning work within the fortnight. It would be sooner if I didn't have to take Lil to the vet in a week for follow-up.

I start paying rent from Friday. Anyone have a trailer and want to take a day trip to pretty Narrogin on the weekend or sometime next week?

I also need to acquire various items, like a fridge, wardrobe, washing machine, kitchen bench, internet connection, phone and other stuff.

We went to take a look at the place I applied for, so I could see how it was cleaned up. It was okay, cleaned up decently, had a fridge. Then the agent asked if I'd like to have a look at the similar place around the corner (it was now empty) before I committed to this one. Sure, why not?

We stepped into the other place and it was just like "woah". The other place had been abandoned by tenants that left the place a dump. This place had been vacated by a woman who moved into a larger house. She had maintained the place.

It lacks a fridge, but it does have
- Loads of hooks for hanging all my pictures.
- Air conditioning in the lounge.
- Nice blinds.
- Nicely painted, the lounge is an awesome purple shade.
- A gate.
- A shed.
- Mowed lawns.
- Decent garden.

So I signed the lease for the nicer place, I can find a fridge in the Quokka or something.

Front It's half of a duplex. I hope my neighbours are nice! There's a lavender and a kangaroo paw growing in the garden. Oh, and a gate to hide the car behind.

Lounge room LOVE the wall colour. Even though I like wood fires - they are too expensive, polluting and hard to light, so I'll use the gas.

First bedroom There are 3 bedrooms, the other two are very similar to this.

Kitchen Zero bench space, I'll have to get another bench for it from Ikea or something. But apart from that it's fine.

Bathroom Just a small affair, shower over the tub. But it's enough for me.

Backyard Hills hoist, mowed lawn, a shed and a covered area for the car. Can you believe this photo was taken through the window?
