Current Home Sweet Home

This is where I'm currently residing, it's a duplex with a mirror image unit attached to the garage. My neighbour for the last six months has just moved out. I hope I get more good neighbours. Mitch was in his 50's, very tall, long grey hair, a beard, and rode a Harley Davidson. He is a generous man who willing helped when I needed a globe replaced and we had many pleasant passing conversations. Until recently Mitch worked in Mackay and would be away for 14 days then back for five. So mostly he just wasn't here! Then the company he works for moved to Ballina and changed to daily hours and he found the long bike rides each day were getting difficult so he's moved to Ballina.

The unit is tiny and one wall of my garage is still stacked with boxes - mainly books, but as I spend 12 hours a day at work with travel and then most of the weekends with Mum, it's ok for now.
front yard is basic but at least green, the unit is on a corner so I get Jim's Mowing to come once a month. The main disadvantage is the unit is on a main road with four lanes of traffic and a bus stop and the end of the drive - this means I pick up rubbish off the drive or lawn each day and find people sitting under the trees or leaning against the building while waiting for a bus, the most irritating bus passangers were a young couple who sat on the driveway and just wouldn't move when I tried to pull in. or Mum's who let their kids just run around. It was worse in summer when the only shade is up under my eaves.

So Home Sweet Home!
