Ok, so the room to rent in that really fabulous house – I didn't get. Turns out my 7kg furry friend ignites allergies in the Japanese Student who is boarding there for the next month. Can she not go live on an island somewhere with other allergy sufferers and suffer in annoying silence together? Tolerance. Perhaps I should add this to the ‘list of things to learn’ whilst in Byron....

I did eventually come around to the belief that it was simply ‘not meant to be’, and I don’t doubt that there is a better place out there for me to find.....yadda yadda yadda.....yawn.

So, it’s back to the drawing board. The paper comes out today so I’ll start looking once again. I have decided to expand my search criteria into empty or furnished houses that I can set up and be the one to make the tenant choosing decision. Yes, the furniture I left in my rented unit in Sydney would surely come in handy right about now....and yes, it’ll be an expense I hadn’t really counted on, but it may be my best option. I figure the $1500 I’ll save on storage in Sydney over the next 12 months can go towards a lounge, the bedroom suite I was planning on buying anyway, and everyone needs a TV. The rest can come from a second hand shop.

Some of you may say ‘patience Kim, patience’....but those of you who know me well are aware of this attribute lacking in my persona. Perhaps moving up here is the perfect time to learn this ancient art that I fail so badly at, but now is not the time. I’m living out of a suitcase with all my belongings in a storage shed up here, with a little old lady who is sweet - but mothering, in a beautiful but quiet suburb that lacks phone reception. I really just want to ‘arrive’, unpack my boxes, settle in, and begin a new life in Byron. Sooner rather than later.

Hopefully my next update with come with an address with water views....
