House
Gidday everyone! How’s it going? Everything’s sweet as over here. Gert’s obsessive Internet house hunting has paid off: we have found a house! It’s a nice 1980s two-bedroom house, situated in a quiet location on a steep hillside, right next to the sea in Island Bay! It’s a great place - smaller than our former Feestpaleis, but with a beautiful deck and garden, afternoon and evening sun, somewhat sheltered from the northerlies, a gas heater and most excellent views! It’s about 7km from the city centre but most of the route is flat so we could cycle, and there are excellent bus connections.
The only small drawbacks are that it has an electrical stove (no gas cooking) and it doesn’t have a garage for woodworking and telescope building and the like. These things are not that common in cheap rental places anyway, and we’ll try to improvise around these issues. No worries, because other than that it’s exactly what we want: a nice house with a garden, in Island Bay, close to the sea…
We’re moving around the end of November. More pictures will follow!
