Houses

Mark and I went and looked at houses in the new housing developments, wondering if it might be a good investment to buy one now, and then ten years later it would be worth a lot of money. But we found that it was a long way from the centre of the city, and there are a lot of things that you need in a house that you find isn't included, or they say they are including it for a great deal, things like floors and windows and walls. Important things like that.

So we were looking at houses in surrounding suburbs to see if there was anything in our price range, and there are houses out there if you are prepared to shop around suburbs. We will have to take a small two bedroom house because that it all we can afford in the surrounding suburbs. But the few houses we looked at are close to trams and trains and close to where Mark is working. We'll have a look and see if we like them. I know that I am ready to live in my own house with just me and Mark where I can have some cupboards for storage, and a spare bed for people to stay in, and a spare room for practicing. Notice how everything is about space? I love living with Netty, and now that we are settled in things are working o.k with the kitchen and bathroom, but when I talked to her this morning about houses she agrees that she is ready for a house with just her and Aaron, ready to start making a home, and move away from the share home environment. I feel like there are two houses squished into one house at the moment.
