Living on Fifth Avenue!

Cameron and I have finally made it, we are living on Fifth Avenue! OK, so its no where near the famous one with all the shops. In fact, our street is so small, you can't turn into it from the main drag, nor can you turn right (if you are driving on the left, that's a turn across traffic) onto the main road. But it is home & "Ant" (that's what we named our car) looks great parked out front.

Join me for a virtual tour...You walk into the front door that you can see to the left of the car & enter into a large living/dining room area. Off that towards the back is a kitchen, small hall with washer, and a back patio. In the other direction are the two bedrooms, and a bathroom split with toilet and shower/sink. The "dining" area is shown in this image with kitchen in background and part of one living room couch.


Moving right along (this place isn't too big) is the kitchen. Since this photo, we've gotten a toaster oven, new pots & pans, dishes not shown, and four mugs (hoping only 2 people ever join us for coffee or tea). Funny thing today, ran the dishwasher with regular dish soap and although it worked, there sure were lots of suds.


Off the kitchen is the back patio, where I can hang up some laundry. This shot looks left out of the door. Its not easy to do laundry when its 15 C or overcast & about 60 F.


On the other side of our back patio, is our NEW GRILL! We grilled a salmon, onion, and red pepper (capsicum for all you Aussies reading) for our first meal. I think its Cam's favorite item we've purchased so far.


Back inside the front door, if you looked left, you would see our "living room" with small wall decoration (working on that by painting some things). The hallway you see in the back connects all the bathrooms and bedrooms with the main bedroom off to the left.


Finally here is a shot of our bedroom. Check out the silk sheets from Ted (Cam's oldest bro) & Song. They are from China & very comfy. Since I'm waving good bye in the photo, I'll sign off for now. We had dinner last night with some archaeology/history folks in town (Peter, Julieanna, Justin, and Robyn) and they gave me some ideas, so I need to send off some resumes.
