When you open the freezer to find out your ROTTEN TODDLER has TURNED THE GODDAM FREEZER OFF AT THE POWER POINT. That deeply sucks and you may find it hard to be nice to him for a bit.

Bit cold just yet, but wonderful in Spring and Summer. It's a great deal of work (and petrol) to live somewhere like that - but visiting is great!

My dream place. My brother used to have a property "tenants in common" in the State forest near there. The house there was pretty basic, too- wooden hippie shack with pot belly stove, deep in a gully. They had an old cast-iron bathtub in a pretty spot outside with an old copper with which you could heat up water for the bath. I miss it. It's always been my dream to live one day in a place like the one in the picture, but now I'm older unfortunately I'm too aware of all the pitfalls that go with it, so it'll probably never happen.
