Off to Brisbane tomorrow - Yay - it’s been 5 months since I was on a plane, so suffering withdrawal symptoms. Meeting up wit Dr FM for a few days of warmth and R&R. Booked at Urbane for Saturday night - anyone tried it?
Actually, we are the opposite. But I have to admit it was a few years ago. Can’t afford to eat out in Brisbane, too many European michelin restaurants to save for.
Well, that's a downer. Came home this afternoon and opened the front door to a flood. The hose leading from the wall tap to the reservoir of a stand alone toilet I have near the front door had burst and full force of water had been gushing out for an unknown amount of time. Luckily mostly tile floor in surrounding area, but some rugs and part of carpet soaked and maybe damage where the water has soaked between walls and floor. Insurance claim under way.
But that's got me a bit paranoid now. If this had happened anytime between 6 and 1 week ago, I was away, and it would have been gushing for up to a week before being discovered. I turn the dishwasher off at the tap before I go away these days, but now it seems like I'll be turning all the toilet taps off as well! Guess I'll also get all the toilet hoses replaced when the burst one is fixed as well.

Which I still find weird.Whereas in the UK we have it the other way around, our washing machine in the kitchen
To be honest, I dont blame them. Even I would be looking for any reason not to return home, if I came from same/similar countries. Head down, bum up would be my advise to them now to maximise their applications.
Many of the abodes in the UK were build without laundries.

We were in Atlanta, looking at some really beautiful old houses and noticed all the cars on the street. They were built before cars so no garages. Only a couple of klms from the city hub. Use to be a bad area to live but not anymore.
I have been to Aria in Sydney - it was OK but not my favourite - prefer Bridge Room. Aria in Brisbane has a very pretty position. So many good restaurants to choose from
have you tried either Eleven Madison or Per Se in New York?Actually, we are the opposite. But I have to admit it was a few years ago. Can’t afford to eat out in Brisbane, too many European michelin restaurants to save for.
