After the emotional departure of Rory I had to find a new place to live. Luckily Welsh Gareth from the Soccer shop also needed to find a new place so the search began. After contacting a local landlord who owned a few properties, we got picked up from work and went to view a few that fell within our budget. We started off by looking at what can only be described as a crack den, it reminded me of something from the film Trainspotting. As we were looking around the flat Welsh Gareth came across a large DVD collection and gave me a funny look, so I went over to investigate. I only required a quick glimpse of the box containing “Busty Babes 4” to understand Welsh Gareth’s queer look and on that note we left sharply. Call me picky, but I’d prefer not to sleep on urine stained mattresses or share a flat with the entire content of blockbusters adult selection.
Luckily we found somewhere to suit our needs and I can quite honestly say, our new place is possibly one of the best apartments in Melbourne, the best apartment that hasn't been updated since 1989 anyhow. It's like the place is stuck in a time warp, all the appliances are practically brand new and have hardly ever been used. The only problem is that they were brand new back I was 3 years old. I don't actually mind the decor, I'm a big fan of retro, but most people who visit do find it amusing. I can't decide which aspect of it is my personal favourite, whether its the salmon kitchen or the mirrored walls in the bedroom. It's not all bad however, it does come with a brown dish washer, Star Trek style gas Hobbs, tennis courts and a swimming pool and is reasonably cheap for the facilities it has.
The worst part of it all is that it's only one bedroom so me and Welsh Gareth came to a compromise. He pays more and gets the bedroom and I pay less and sleep in the lounge.
This has worked fantastically well so far as he has a girlfriend and is hardly ever at home, so I get free reign most nights. The down side is that I can get a little too comfortable and recent events has left his girlfriend holding me in very much the same regard as say Spike from Notting Hill. I've been caught in just my pants cooking dinner on several occasions and I've even had the misfortune of falling asleep on the sofa, yet again in my pants, in front of the television only to be woken up by them coming through the door an hour later. It's not the fact I fell asleep in front of the TV in my underwear that I found embarrassing. It was the fact the the documentary I was watching on blue whales had long finished and there was now something far bluer on the screen.
