Hello Strangers

Not so odd for down under news

I’m in Vancouver. Bloody hot here. 41°C today.

You in Sydney?

Just relocated to Queensland a week ago!

Oh wow, Kim just moved there. I hope she doesn’t mind my saying so, but I can’t imagine she will. Looks nice. Although you used to say bad things about it. lol.

Missed the Sydney lockdown

Lockdown may follow you there. This Delta strain looks inconvenient.

You’re kidding me! Whereabouts?

Hell if I know. I think she said an hour out of Brisbane or something. She posted pics in another thread.

I’m an hour out of Brisbane lol, she may be north, I’m an hour south

Or she could be my neighbour!

Sunshine Coast? Sorry, my Aussie geography is horrible.

Thats about an hour north of Brisbane, I’m on the Gold Coast

Which thread?

You once told me the Gold Coast was full of trailer trash. I am not polite enough to not mention that.

Yeah well the plan was to move to the NSW border where my son lives. His house has increased by a million in 3 yrs. So trailer trash will have to do over the border, Just too expensive

Yes, I understand. I am actually buying real estate now, which might well bankrupt me if all this talk of it being overpriced ends up being true. We’ll see.

We’ve rented until we decide what to do

why not send her a message? :wink:

How’s Howard doing?

EDIT: Renting makes such good sense, but I am worried about retirement and real estate is as good a gamble as any.
