Morning in my new home

Morning in my new home
Originally uploaded by Juju T

After a couple of hectic weeks of packing, organising, cleaning, I have now moved into my new home in Summer Hill. I must say that the suburb is way better than the one I've lived in before and I am totally loving it. It has a very nice village feel about it and last weekend, a guy was playing jazz with his saxaphone in the rain and it was surreally beautiful. I am looking forward to unpacking the rest of my stuff and having friends over.

I have spent the last three weekends househunting and it ain't no fun at all. Imagine looking for a one-bedroom place with at least 30 people coming to see the property. One can't help but feel frustrated. That is how bad the rentals in Sydney are. But after all that, I managed to secure a place in Summer Hill ( a suburb just west of Sydney). It'll be good as it will be closer to my friends and I do love the area. Now I just have to start getting organised with packing, culling stuff I haven't used (had a dream about that last night) , and the removalists. Even though I was just getting used to Marrickville, moving to Summer Hill is exciting as it feels very much like moving to another country. (well more like a new routine). Marrickville has been very vietnamese and greek for me, and I do love having access to all the fresh produce. Summer Hill feels more European and it has a good deli and butcher in the village. I will move in about 2 weeks. Now I just have to think about what to do with the cat......
