SUCCESS!!!
Have just finished tidying up in room. Threw out the wreck of a bed-frame, and will now spend an unknown amount of time sleeping directly on floor (of course, on mattress - on floor - worth saying?). Rents here are insane, but that is not to say that a bed is automatically included. On the upside, we have a lot more space now. Mother, who is visiting in 2 weeks time, will of course be horrified. Hmm. She probably will not like curtains either (as not hemmed, but honestly - does anyone these days even know the meaning of that word?).
I remember first time mother visited in Sydney. She had nothing good to say about Petersham house. I do not yet have a translation for the word "knarkarkvart," used to describe state of house. Had asked flat-mates to tidy up, unfortunately our definitions of "tidy up" differed slightly. Mother used video-camera to document everything, and have not quite lived that down yet. Oh well.
BTW, Craig has taken crocodile to work. It now lives there. Kangaroo very lonesome.
