Exciting times ahead

Today contracts exchange and I paid the real-estate agent a 5% deposit. Settlement is scheduled for 3rd June.
I was so excited today with this news. Finally, after 11 years of realizing this dream, the reality of it all is getting closer.

Like an excited child at Christmas time, I went to Beacon Lighting with my wish list. Already I know what to do with the interior. Its going to be a classic, yet contemporary look.
These Sphere pendants would look fantastic;

Viva La Forster

Had the week off as it was my first and only opportunity to take some much needed annual leave. Couldn't stay in Newcastle, really wanted to get out of town just for a couple of nights. It's all bad timing with buying the house and being careful with expenses at the moments. The big bills are yet to come.

As it turns out,  friends offered their caravan in Forster, NSW - for free! Very generous of them for the accommodation.  Its just two hours drive north of Newcastle. I think best the pictures tell the story. Two nights were enough, beginning to miss the creator comforts of home.
