What January looked like in Oz.

My holiday accommodation is on the vehicle, or will be.

Look, the best vehicle for the Australian Outback still is the Toyota Landcruiser. Built tough but at a high premium. It's been like that for decades hence why the resale value of any well maintained Landcruiser of any age can still cost more than a new mini sized car (or two).

Great, then buying one would put a huge dent in our retirement savings...



looks like my hope now of surviving retirement is to win lotto. I have a billion to 1 chance...

Last Spring, I went to this town at the edge of the desert by accident, (Kurt took a wrong turn) and we ended up at a place called Perenjori... there was a place going for $30,000 and I thought, lets buy it for a holiday house, (the house was less than ordinary) but there was a MASSIVE double garage shed down the back new looking...



I said to my sister, "come on, you and I, $15,000 each"... and she looked interested.... well, it got snapped up before we could grow our ideas...





here, it was this dump - https://www.domain.com.au/19-21-russell-street-perenjori-wa-6620-2014535125">https://www.domain.com.au/19-21-russell ... 2014535125">https://www.domain.com.au/19-21-russell-street-perenjori-wa-6620-2014535125 (check out the shed)





I'm thinking of downsizing and going to live in a rural town within 2 hour drive of Perth.

That house looks like it should be demolished.

Wha'?



For a holiday shack in the desert, it's a 5 star destination... I was going to invite BT and Dinky Di for a stay.

You would need to invite him at a different time to me.



Besides, I don't stay in anything less than 5 star.

He was a sort of Flash Gordon with English sophistication and refinement.

I was in Florida last week for business. I didn't want to come back to Winnipeg. February 2019 is cold even by our standards.

You weren't in England in the 1950's, I think.
