We got unconditional approval on our mortgage today. That means that the contract for the house will go unconditional and a little over a month from now I will actually be a homeowner. At work someone asked me if I was excited and I had to stop and think about it. I am excited, yes […]

Airconditioning is a very important subject in Australia at any time but particularly in the middle of a sweltering hot summer. Today the aircon broke down at work. There is nothing quite like being in an airtight box without the benefit of temperature control. We had fans bought in but that simply made it hot […]
