I have a place to live!

I went this afternoon to view the large house I wrote about and I should be moving in there early next week! It all was about as good as I imagined, meeting the girl who answered my ad, meeting one of the other guys who lives there, seeing the house. It isn't the prettiest house, but it is big and has amazing views right on the Marybyrnong River, plus it faces west so: sunsets! Also you can walk right down from the backyard and go to a path that goes through to a park and nature areas. The house has huge living room, kitchen, dining area, a bunch of bedrooms and bathrooms and tons of closets (there are so many doors in the downstairs area that I think I'll be walking into the wrong room or into a closest a few times at first), really nice backyard (on a bit of a hill so it's sort of in levels up the hill)... And the people living there so far are great, Wendy is the one who called me, she's 41, but seems about 10 years younger and is very chatty and a bit quirky, I think she'll be fun. Then there's Travis who seemed really nice, though I only spoke to him a few minutes. Another guy is also moving in next week, Wendy described him as a sweet country boy, heh. And there still is room for one more... The house is a little farther away from things than I had hoped, esp since I don't have a car, but I'll work out the best public transport to take. It is almost directly across from the racecourse where the Melbourne Cup is held in November. To me it's just a horse race, but it's so big here that it's a public holiday in Melbourne. There's big drama right now though because of horses having equine flu and various horse races being cancelled, but the Melbourne Cup so far is ok. Oh! And they have a dog! Well, it's Travis' technically, but yeah, a dog! She's really sweet, so cute, and maybe I can take her for walks along the river. Anyway, it is all very awesome, I'm so happy to have found a place that is so amazing and spending spring there will be wonderful. I hope to post some photos of the house once I move in and get around to managing some photos.

Work is moving slower, but it's not been long that I've been looking, and if I need to I can do temp office jobs. Not what I want to do, but it's money. Now I plan to relax and enjoy the weekend and see some more of Melbourne. Today's weather was crap, but it's supposed to better in the weekend, so I want to enjoy it.
