Not to many photos from the past week & a bit... I've had other things on my mind.
We now have a new Bin Day, so I don't even know what day it is. Our new rubbish removal day is Tuesday (at the other place it was Wednesday), I woke up this morning thinking it's Friday !?!? Never realised before that our time at home revolved around our weekly rubbish collection... Bizarre...
Jenny & I have spent the past week and a half getting our new place into some sort of order. We have met the lady next door & had a few visitors.
The street has been nice and quiet, we went for a walk to the other side of the Community College, (High School) last Saturday to vote in the Federal election, then checked out the Community Garden, where we met Jeff & Wendy.
Jenny's knee held up well during the walk, her post-op visit to the surgeon, who did the operation revealed a bit of osteoarthritis, that he had cleaned up.
We have been formulating a plan to make this house appear more presentable for sale in about 6 months. The real estate market is very depressed in the Mandurah area at the moment, so we don't want to spend too much. Current plan is to focus on "street appeal".
Our cosy Lounge Room.
This Coodanup house is quite a small place, the area under the roof is 148m2. To put that into perspective the South Yunderup house was 380m2 and the Mandurah Reno house presently at 123m2.
After the renovation is completed that will increase to 230m2, of which 34m2 comprises of the new Studio Room & 73m2 of Indoor/Outdoor/Alfresco area. So still fairly compact.
The second stage of the Mandurah House fence going up.
At the moment Jenny & I are in the doldrums, I know it's hard to believe but we are feeling pretty flat. There are some family problems in the background which I don't wish to discuss on this blog at the moment.
These issues are currently holding us back from hitting the road ? Also I think preparing & selling our former SY house took a lot of energy. Being the middle of winter isn't helping the cause either.
Jenny has postponed her next bit of elective surgery until early August. It was supposed to happen yesterday, but she had some valid concerns about the procedure so sorted out a second opinion. The Doctor says she will be all good for our India Tour in October.
So it looks like we will just stay in this "holding pattern" for awhile. It's time to get back on our bikes (all of them) and explore the cycle trails & back roads of this new area. We also have to get our butts into gear and get back to our Gym. Which is less then a kilometre from our current home.
On a positive note we now are on the National Broadband Network & have excellent Internet .... yippee !
