Old bark hut

I've been looking for a little place to call home in southwest Scotland. It's not so easy when you're:

• a foreigner with no rental records to speak of;

• self-employed and your last years of accounts are all in Finnish; and

• most houses get their tenants thru word-of-mouth and you don't know so many people.

And when you know exactly what you want and don't want to compromise!

But I'm getting there, my new house is almost ready for me. It's gonna turn up aaany day now.

In the meantime, here's a little bit of topical Aussie bush poetry.
