Oh, I like that painting. Yes, Grace Cossington-Smith - saw an exhibition of her works several years ago at the NGA in Canberra.

Our house is newer than yours, Tattie Bogle, having been built in 1992. We bought it from the original owner in 2010.......and yes, there were some things needing to be fixed here too!

We lived in our previous house in the Big Smoke for 23 years, before that we were in a house not far away for ten years. Three years before that in a unit, and that is the sum total of houses Himself and I have lived in together - I lived in several different places before we moved in together, but he moved from his parents' house.
