I think we need to buy a hotel in the city somewhere. We like seeing people, when we're in the mood, but we don't always like leaving the house. So I think we need to live in a big hotel, with all our friends, so we can stay home and still be social. Except when we just lock the doors to our floor and curl up in bed with a good book. And room service. Mmmmm, room service. There's a building on Smith St that would be perfect for this - all I need to do now is win $30 million in tattslotto. Suppose I should start buying tickets...

Same street would be good - [livejournal.com profile] bunnikins used to live in a "commune" that was basically several families in three adjoining houses.
That's probably ideal in Melbourne, buy a row of terraces and knock a door through on the ground floor of each.

Mmmm.

Very tempting.

I had an aunt and uncle do this in Fitzroy, they had 3 terrace houses in a row, and the stables and another bilding which were off a back lane.

They used to do communal meals and the whole thing.

I remember staying with them once, and kept getting woken up by the Hari Krishna commune on the other side of the garden wall.

They then went off to be missionaries in Tonga while their children went off to join the corporate rat race.

That does sound good.

I'm extremely 'clucky' for a house and a dog at the moment.

Nesting!

I'm such a pathetic earth mother ...

Yup.
And the thought of finding a few friends and doing the "almost communal" thing has crossed my mind, and it tends to increase buiying power non-linearly.

Yeah, nesting. Megan and I have had such a good time over the last week with both flatmates away.

Not matter how lovely the people one lives with, the share housing thing definitely has its limits (not to mention its ugly side). I don't think I could do it again. If nothing else, I'm too much of a control freak :)

Add that to the list of why people would not want to have me in their commune ;)

Слышу голос из Прекрасного Далека
Он зовет меня в прекрасные края
Слышу голос голос спрашивает строго
А сегодня что для завтра сделал я
