I've moved up into the top room and rented the bedroom downstairs to a nice couple called Alex and Sue. The top room isn't as spacious but it has one strong advantage: a nice balcony looking out onto the trees of Brennan Park. I splashed out on a table and chairs (for the princely sum of $30 at Bunnings!) and a pot plant. So now I'm set. All I need is summer so I can sit outside. And a girlfriend to share my other chair.
