Our New place, 20 Brisbane Tce













Well we are all moved into our new place and love it here. It just feels like more of a home, there are three rooms, and three couples that are living here. Us, a French couple Blundeen & Nicolas, and an Irish couple Tam & Steve. The rooms are all in the front of the house and the two sitting rooms, kitchen, dining room and washroom are all in the back. There is a nice back yard, with half of it being covered by a lattice shelter with vines all over it and the other half open to the sunshine. There is a big garage, outside toilet, and nice hot tub. The house is a good size for three couples and we all seem to really get along. We are located on a quiet street still in the suburb of Northbridge. I am approximately a 20 minute walk from the RPH and Ross is approximately a 20 minute drive from his job. It’s really been great to have a comfortable place to call home.
About a week after we moved in Steve and Tam had to move back home as her dad isn’t doing well, and another couple moved in to their room – Bridgette & Mark, another Irish couple. They are very nice; we seem to be home with them a lot - usually cooking dinner in the kitchen. They are the first couples we have met that actually cook their own meals; we were starting to think we were the only ones! lol. They have only been here a couple weeks, and are still searching for jobs. They are very clean, Ross says she is just like me… lol, I am not too sure if that is a good thing or not to have two people in the same house that are particular about some things … lol – so I guess we’ll see. Ha-ha. No I am only kidding, I think they will be easy to get along with, and it will be nice to have someone else to help keep the house at least somewhat clean. Rent is a bit cheaper, but not that much cheaper, but the house is just so much better. We have air conditioning, a TV in all our rooms and in the living room, there’s a BBQ in the back yard, and like I said there’s also a hot tub – maybe if we are ambitious enough we will clean it out and have a cold tub for after work - ha-ha.

The place looks great! We were out with Rob's cousin last night and she couldn't stress enough how we had to come visit while you were down under ... She is like you Jen, always dreamed of going to Auzzie but she hasn't made it there. Seems it is snowing today... it does seem like a great idea!! :)
