Street view hits Melbourne

Thanks Colette for letting me know that Google street view has now expanded to Melbourne, which has allowed us to see our little house in Flemington in all its glory. It looks hot and dry in the photo. And clean. And empty. Fabulous that we can see it and kind of scary. I am so looking forward to moving in there and rattling around all those rooms. It's a frequent fantasy of mine when I scan the plants at the Union Square market and obsess over Kitchen Aid appliances in Williams Sonoma. Might sound nuts but Jus and I have started buying stuff that we know we won't really use here but we know we will need (need? read: can buy cheaper here than home and may as well) in Australia. Like extra place settings of silverware. And said appliances. And clothes. I don't expect to buy any clothes for about 3 years when I get home. Especially winter stuff. I don't think I will ever need to buy another coat again. (I can already hear Jus throwing that one back at me in 2031.) Ugh, just thinking of winter stuff makes me feel sweaty.

Hey, thanks for putting me onto this! I can get *tantalizingly* close to our home in Melbourne, and 'strolling' along the street really was like being there...kinda cured homesickness temporarily. I linked to this on my blog, then certain friends spent an hour checking out their friends' places...surely this is how web surfing began!

And while you're on that buying spree Mia, if you've got the stomach for it and are remotely in the zone, don't forget the baby gear!! I've just spent a small fortune on prams, enough to buy a second hand car....
sorry to hear the blog is coming down, it's been lovely reading and keeping up with all your news xx
