Employment permit approved - let the games begin! First thing on the getting-longer-everyday 'to do' agenda is to sell anything I don't particularly want to lug to Singapore and don't particularly want to put in storage either. This includes mostly whitegoods and furntiture I probably should have ditched some time ago. This unfortunately includes my fabulous but rather large titanium fridge which I more or less bought as an expression of freedom after spending 6 months of living with 'ex-boyfriend' and having to tolerate the world's smallest bar-fridge you could ever possibly imagine! Nothing a short stint in the Classifieds can't fix. This also goes for the washing machine and the dishwasher I had to replace at Cremorne after happily laying floor boards which meant that (and this was discovered when we actually attempted to reinstall the dishwasher) the space in which it previously very comfortably slotted in to was now 3 cm too short. I challenge you to find a non-standard sized dishwasher that doesn't cost the earth! I did infact find a rather nice Miele which did the trick however left me with a perfectly good dishwasher that noone seemed to want and that has since followed me around with no real purpose in life. Here's cheers to the Internet and all the parts of my life that have improved since it became part of living on this earths vernacular (and credit to my new favourite website eBay!). What this all means of course is that not only have I managed to easily shed unwanted items but I now have a nice little 'holiday' kity which will give me the opportunity to escape all the uncertaintly and planning for atleast a week, I'm thinking somewhere in the top end of Australia, and spend some time taking in and appreciating the bits of this country I've always wanted to visit before I leave and forget where I came from (unlikely I know, but could happen!)
Hmmm...Broome sounds nice...
