hey you ugly bunch

just checking in on things
work seems to be going fine for me over here, got at least 2 months in front of me, putting in for 2 units this morning, should know by the end of the day if we have been accepted. bit dearer than we wanted to pay but there brand new and flash as fook.
still aint found an old smoker to get by on yet, went to look at an old falcon yesterday , but seemed fine just didnt have no power so had to leave it. will have to have another look about during the week

Welcome POPS.

As I am sure you will find there are 1000s of us Ex pats here and even some by choice
I am sure you will love it


A unit is the term used here for a flat or small 2 up 2down type of dwelling with not alot of land if any. (having said that my place is called a unit but in English would be a 2 bed semi bungalow with garage and garden )Normally on or very close to the beach

We have rented a couple of units. Great for couples just starting out but hope yours are bigger than the 2 bed ones we had with 2 cats

Must be nice to finally arrive and look to build a home. My moving was all over the place, shipped stuff over about 3 years worth of trips but it is nice to be able to call it home.

Catch you around at some point and on here mate
