Luke and I have settled on a new home for ourselves. We sign the lease on Friday morning.

It's green (as in leafy), big (as in 3 bedrooms with BIR), perfect for luke (it's very own 'rock bunker' for obnoxious rehearsals and jams), shiny (polished floorboards) and not poorly situated (10 minute walk to train station, 15 mins to city, just a hop to some lovely local shops).

And perhaps best of all. It is within 200m of a yarn store and post office. That's right. And there's a papercrafts store not 5 minutes walk away. This is DIY heaven.

Now just to reconcile the fact that it's not Northcote...
