festival song

Hey hey hey!
I'm here.. around... enjoying the house and the recent sunny weather... summer is definitely coming back... And I am actually looking forward to it!
Hehehe...
But, before I go any further, here is the soundtrack to this post.. (I like the idea of blogposts having soundtracks... sets the mood... ;))
The Festival Song (Summer Days)

The house is so good... Moving out of the apartment is definitely one of the best things thats happened recently. Not that living in the apartment wasn't good too, just that the house has a better atmosphere. So much better, settled even.
We inspected this house late on a Friday afternoon, and basically right then and there put in our application, got approved the next day while we were driving around looking at other houses... Its perfect, two bedrooms, two bathrooms... cute little queenslander, but you know all that already!
But the funniest thing about the house, is that we have no doors!!! Yes, thats right.. no doors.. on the bedrooms and the ensuite in Mateus and my bedroom. Hehehe.. which was quite a surprise... because the house has door frames, that really stand out.. you see the door frame, and expect a door there. But, the owner apparently believes that people don't need doors, and hasn't put them up. hehehe.. And we didn't even notice until after we had moved everything! Hahahaa... At the inspection, we didn't look for doors.. we saw the frames.. looked for windows etc. Assumed all houses came with doors.. apparently not! We got the keys on Monday, and Mateus and Ivan had been moving everything all week, and it was only on the Friday when we were staying there for the first night, that they noticed we had no doors! Hahahaha.. Hilarious... So, we've constructed our own doors.. Mateus and I have hooked up a sleeping bag on our bedroom door, and have that piece of material from Cambodia as our ensuite door... and Ivan and Jess have the spare mattress up in their door. They are lucky, cause that second bathroom does actually have doors, one into the bedroom, and one into the kitchen... hehehe.. just a bit funny that we didn't realise before we moved in... But, the owner is going to put up doors, in the next few days we hope. Folding ones, so that we don't lose space. Should be really nice... to have a door again... ;)
Anyway, here are some photos! YAY!


The front door.. my umbrella suits the house hey! :)


The view through the front door.. living room on the right, our bedroom on the left.


Living room, complete with little office 'nook'.. heheh.. We bought that desk and chair from Pam cause she has left the country to go to Japan. Fits in perfectly and is really good to have a desk for the computer... Living room is the perfect size for our furniture.. the couch fits in perfectly, not too big, not too small... its quaint.. hehe


Our bedroom... Mateus' surf board... bed... door frame, but no door... hehehe ;)


The ensuite in our bedroom... we took that little clothes rack from downstairs, and Mateus is using it to hang all his t-shirts... Not enough hanging space in our room... but the rack is good... The material is pretty too... reminds me of you E!! :)

To be continued...
