It's so hard to think of a good title.

OK, so it’s been a while since my last update. Sorry, but it’s here now, so you can breath easy once again. I started writing an entry about 2 weeks ago, but never go a round to finishing it. So I think it has been about a month since I last posted. Since then, our tiny cramped flat has become even more crowded – 18 boxes of my stuff have arrived from England. I have managed to empty about three of them, we stuffed 8 into our walk-in wardrobe, and there are 7 propping up our living room (misnomer?) wall.

We have in that time also received our brand new recycling bins – everyone in our suburb received them on the same day, and there were seas of bright shiny new bins all over Brunswick – it was quite a moving site…

We nearly bought a flat in Northcote, but were out-bid. We spent today looking at more flats – some nicer than others. We are now going to try to buy one in Thornbury (the nicest and cheapest – but not the largest – of all the flats we looked at today). 2 bedrooms, balcony, bath, gas, laundry, and you won’t find a car-park with better views of the city! And it is right next to the wonderful Merri Creek. I’ll let you know how that goes. Wish us luck!

After 4 years of trying, we finally made it in to the Moroccan Soup Bar in North Fitzroy. It comes highly recommended (go for the banquet – excellent value at $16.50 per head), but it’s a good idea to get there early, otherwise, you may be in for a bit of a wait for seats (you can only book for 6 or more people).

We have been for another walk – we took friends along this time. 5 of us went for a thoroughly pleasant stroll up the Moonee Ponds Creek (no off-track rambles this time) - saw some ducklings and a couple of eels slithering amongst the rushes – followed by a nice picnic, then back to ours for afternoon tea.

This weeks Music In The Air From The Zoo was a (not particularly good) Bee Gees cover band. Hmmm…

This weeks recommended music is The Magic Numbers self-titled debut album. Fantabulous foot tappin’ fun, hummable harmonies and hook lines, thumping bass, and a melodica! Alt.Country-Indy-Pop-Rock-Blues has never sounded so good!

So tomorrow, we may put an offer on a house – I think we need to get some rest before hand – it’s an exhausting process. Till next time, take care of yourselves, and Jerry Springer.
