    It's Australia. The country will kill you, although admittedly in different ways than the city.

    Hey! Compared to where he is, I'm in the country!

    I may be on the verge of doing an inverse-Russ and moving to the country. Ms noodlé’s health is rotten as fuck and the city is just too loud. She can’t get out much, so being somewhere quiet and green is very appealing. I always figured we’d get something rural eventually, though the plan was to pay off the flat and then be able to do both.. but now it’s maybe more like ‘sell the flat and get something really fucking nice, somewhere really fucking nice’. I’m not super wild about committing to another 10 years of mortgage payments and a lengthy commute, but I’m in a pretty good spot work/money wise so I won’t have to kill myself to buy something that I think will make me happy in a way that no city apartment ever could.

    Well this is happening. Signed contracts today on a genuinely stunning house just north of Melbourne. Massive block of land (mostly just ‘leave it the fuck alone and hope it doesn’t catch fire). It comes with two donkeys.. so, really, what’s not to like?

    Everything seemed to be the size of Belgium. Please tell me you've got yourself a chunk of outback the size of Belgium.

    We did the same thing. It's a beautiful house with lots of land (no Donkeys) and a fuck ton of debt due to things that have been well documented on here. If i wasn't so balls to the wall working to pay for the fucking thing I would love it.

    At the moment I am exhausted and now not sleeping. It's a combination of things. It takes fortitude to try something new. For those who are doing it, I salute you. It's hard, but if I get through the next 6 months (and four plus years of utter shit no doubt), then I think I will have time to enjoy sitting in the back garden with a nice drink and a book. I of course will have my gun with me, but that is only because of people.. Nothing to see here.

    I've got noodle in the dead pool. Could be snake, spider or plant, but I'm guessing emu. Maybe wombat as an outsider. Probably not a fish.

    Sure I read once that there's some stinging nettle-type plant in Australia that can still be felt intensely six months after getting stung. Bonkers.

    Honestly, pretty much everything you just wrote. I hope you're very happy but you just described my idea of hell. Land, animals, isolation. Fuck that noise.

    Surely kicked to death by a donkey?

    Edit: beat me to it.

    You’re, of course, welcome to visit any time.

    As far as being murdered by it goes, I choose death by wombat.. because that would mean we have wombats on the property.. and I fucking love wombats.

    Cubic poo. Who doesn't want cubic poo on their land?
    Wombats are one of the very best things about Australia (and there are many).
