Now that we are in the mindset of changing things that are not working, why not do something about our misery over being stuck in a boring suburb? This is how it went: mr. Zitnie and I went to the beach last week and there it hit us. We made a wrong decision, but with some guts and effort we can turn things around. Breathing the atmosphere of the coast and experiencing the relaxed lifestyle, it was very clear to us: this is the Sydney everybody talks about and enjoys. Not the Wisteria Lane we unfortunately ended up.
So are we willing to take the leap into insecurity, but with a good chance to make things (a whole lot) better? You betcha. Plan: A) cancel our lease by 1 December and B) hope to find a new home on the Northern Beaches as quick as a cricket! Risk: B might not go so smoothly as hoped for. Good thing it will be summer by then: sleeping in a cardboard box will not be that bad, and we saw an amazing outdoors barbie right on the spot. No worries. Let’s hope the sign on our stuff ‘NO RUBBISH – AND NO GARAGE SALE’ will be enough to keep the collectors away from our couch/bed/table and chairs/flatscreen/Bali artworks/trendy stools/audioset/European (so stylish!) wardrobe.
Hhhmmmm, think I discovered a weakness in our plan de campagne. ‘Maar wie A zegt, moet ook B zeggen’. Think I will keep it at C for the moment… cheers, and wish us luck!
