New Digs

We have moved into our new duplex in the Milton suburb of Brisbane. We have everything in the area that we need, especially since we don't have a car. We are less than a three minute walk from a mini-maill with an IGA, a bakery, a fruit and veg stand, a pharmacy, a dry-cleaner, a pizza place, a Mexican restaurant, a news stand, a fish monger and a liquor store! We are also about a 10 minute walk from a restaurant with the best lunch-time slow cooked pork sandwich that either of us have ever had. It was pretty high on the list of deciding factors in our neighbourhood search.

This place is brand new. The other half of the duplex is currently unoccupied, so we have the run of the joint, but are having to deal with initial services being put in, like the phone line to be hooked up and garbage cans to be delivered. We are also waiting for a modem, so no internet at home now. Once we are all wired in, we can upload some photos and show off our jazzy new place. We should have our furniture in by the end of November (or earlier, we hope!), and then it will really feel like home.

So far, after one week of work, we are both liking it but still adjusting to getting up in the morning and going to the office. At least it's a nice walk in!
