Today I went to the Armstrong Street Foodstore (on Armstrong Street, Middle Park) with a friend who has just come back to live in Melbourne.
We had a cup of tea and a piece of hedgehog (Yum...)!!!
I love catching up with this friend. Apart from the fact that can just natter on for hours and hours about anything we're in similar professions so its good to have someone who "understands" my work and the pressures of our particular profession.
I'm currently trying to increase the non-work activities ... trying to live a well rounded life ya know :-)
She's looking for a new place to live so we also went to look at some rental properties .... horrendous amounts of rent for some places that really weren't so flash. Bathrooms that were about 30 years old and looked as though they'd had some pretty hard wear in those 30 years. It makes me wonder about what landlord's think is appropriate.
Why do they think that they can continue to receive peoples money without every doing any work on their properties.
Why is it that no-one offers tenants better protection?
I feel incredibly grateful that I am in my own place - albeit that the bank owns more than me! I'm working on changing that though!
On another note the Petunias have started to flower.
