The weather has been lovely all of this month but tonight we had to light the log burner. It's decidedly nippy of an evening now.

I couldn't live in one of those houses even if they were half the price.

There have been 1.4 million views. Surely those dog boxes can't possibly be worth over a million each.

You must be joking!

That looks very depressing. Hopefully there is a large park nearby to make up for the lack of gardens. Are they social housing? If not I wonder how much each of those dwellings cost.

Nearly everyone I know adopted their dog from the local dog homes. Most are mixed breeds of all shapes and sizes with rescue greyhounds also high on the list. I feel sorry for the little pugs and French bulldogs on a warm day as you can hear them snorting and wheezing when they're out on their walks. Yes the doodle types are popular. They are generally lovely natured pooches.

I sort of agree with you about the politicians but who are you calling morons? The politicians or the general public?

Just googled some more suburbs to avoid and also the better ones. Lets start with the not so good. Depending on your housing affordability, the areas best to avoid are: Ravenswood, Waverly, Rocherlea, Mayfield, some of Mowbray and partly Newnham.- these areas are more prone to bad behaviour, lower socio-economic housing. Areas that are most preferable are Prospect, Newstead, Riverside- Trevallyn, West Launceston, Kings Meadows and Norwood.

First of all good luck with your interview. Hope it is successful. There are certainly suburbs to avoid in Launceston. Two that I can think of are Rocherlea and Ravenswood. They are both on the rough side. I live in Devonport and go to Launceston for a bit of shopping now and again. I like the place. It has a bit of character.

This may give you an idea of employment available in the firefighting industry. Of course you need a PR visas first of all and as the folk above have mentioned it's probably a good idea to contact a registered migration agent. https://www.seek.com.au/firefighter-jobs

Permanent residency does not expire. People with PR do not need to get their visa renewed. Surely you have documentation to prove you are a permanent resident. How old are you? Have you not got the passport from your own country to use as some sort of identification?

There used to be a large op shop at Broadway (Sydney) which had furniture. My two sons acquired quite a few good bits and pieces from there when they moved out of home.

When I retired, the much younger than me person who replaced me lasted 6 weeks. The next one lasted a couple of months. In the end two people were employed to do my job. The job was very varied and required attention to detail and could be stressful at times as strict time deadlines had to be met which meant working longer hours if necessary. I had a lovely assistant who worked with me for years but even she couldn't handle working with her new co-workers and found another job. I was glad to get out of it as a new CEO arrived not long before I retired and the company merged with another in NZ. The atmosphere was never the same after.

It was 5 degrees earlier this morning but I was kept warm mucking out the horses.
