A Few Tasks Completed
There’s so much to be done when you move interstate. So much paperwork, so many phone calls, online forms… It’s all necessary but finding the motivation to get it done is not so easy. But finally, I’ve done the major things: Paid off my car loan – woo hoo!! made an appointment for getting my…

A Housewarming Gift
I live in Melbourne, almost 2,000km from Brisbane, where I lived before. When I was looking for somewhere to live, it was difficult to do so from Brisbane. Online tools are very useful, but it’s just not the same as seeing the apartment in the flesh. Once I had found a place I liked (based…

Rainy Day Optimism
One of things I love about my new apartment in Melbourne is the terrace off my living area. It’s a very large tiled space which overlooks the east side of the city. I have plans for it, but a few days after I moved in, I hurt my back and two weeks later it hasn’t…

Overwhelmed but Excited.
I’ve been away for a little while, preparing for my move from Beautiful Brisbane to Magical Melbourne – see my Break in Transmission post. Things have progressed quite a bit since that post. My parents have sold their house – it was on the market for just 7 days and someone snapped it up. They…

Break in Transmission
Some of you may have noticed that I have been somewhat absent from the land of blogging of late. It breaks my heart a little bit, because it’s always my favourite thing to do – writing posts with photos that I’ve painstakingly captured and edited, reading posts from my wonderful blogging friends and mostly reading…
