Glebe

Am currently spending a quiet day in. (Not that I’ve done all the much up to now). It’s raining. Such a relief from the oppressive heat of the last two days. I think it was 34 degrees yesterday. Not sure about the day before. Even the wind was hot. Needless to say, had a hard time sleeping last night, and am currently sporting a rash of sorts on my right forearm. Thank goodness I am not staying here over the summer. Dunno what the hell I was thinking when I thought it would be a good idea.

Had a bubble tea from Easy Way yesterday, on my way back to the flat after collecting mail. It’s good. I got honey milk tea with pearls. Would’ve preferred to have had grass jelly, but it was not on the menu. Lots of other jellies were, though and of note was fig. That set me back $4.60, but it’s ok, cuz I got my bond deposit back from Yuli, so all is good ^^.

So on Thursday, I had put up the ad on flatmates.com, and got a few calls and inspections. Of them, Ludivine, a girl from France, seemed the most interested. I was totally crossing my fingers that she would call back, and she did that night. All was arranged for her to move in on Friday. I just needed to book a hostel.

Hah. Easier said than done. Turns out that this weekend is a long weekend. Which explains why my Sunday flight to Melbourne was so cheap. So anyway, the hostels in the city were all booked up. The YHA in Glebe was available, so I took it. Cheaper than the ones in the city by a couple dollars, and it’s 4-share, rather than 8. It’s only 2.5km from Central, and a bus passes right by. Light rail is about a 5min walk away. Very residential and quiet neighbourhood. There are supposed to be restaurants nearby, so maybe I’ll have a looksee for what’s around for dinner tonight.
