Moving On

I've been in this little house I'm in atm for 2.5 years. And while the skies are pretty dark, the view is obscured, there's a street light and the house quite frankly is a dive.
Yesterday I decided that it's time to move. A call to the Realo's today revealed that my lease had in fact run out. woo hoo.
Even better news, is that they said they had a house coming up in the next 2 weeks that would be ideally suited for "astrological imaging" lol. (they mean well )
I inspected the house today. And wow. It's on top of a hill just on the edge of town, near the end of a dead end street. With grazing pasture across the road , bush land behind me, and elderly neighbours on either side. I think I've found my new home. sigh....

oh, nettie, that looks perfect! fingers crossed for moving in and enjoying your stay, there.
I love it when all falls into place just like that without fuss.

(your camera lens needs a wipe?)

Looks great.

Ever thought about running a little astro B&B out in the country somewhere?

This is great news and I look forward to the improved images. But, please, be careful with thread titles. I thought you were leaving IIS!! My poor ticker missed a beat.

I should never have shown the kids the other house. They saw it and fell in love. All that excitement for nothing.
We've taken the old Queenslander instead. I'll have the same amount of sky as I have in the house I'm in.
Oh well. I'll have to resign myself to setting up up the road if I want big skies. As I've been doing before.

That was my first thought too... ("now that's a soup ladle!")

Congratulations JJJ! Exciting times!

Nice JJJ, hope it all works out for you, there is nothing like a bit of green pasture and blue skies, black at night of coarse.

What happened? What other house? That country one looks just perfect to me.
