    @mclaincausey:

    @Graeme given the bloodbath of a housing market you described in Australia, I found this "let them eat cake" moment surpassed the arrogance, lack of empathy, and disconnectedness of Marie Antoinette.

    The trouble with Australia is that it's been described as a property market with an economy bolted on the side, so there is any sign of a slowdown, the government will try to reinflate it. The net result is that Sydney is the second most unaffordable housing market in the world according to Demographia, coming in behind Hong Kong.

    Others have made similar comments to Scott Morrison. Joe Hockey, a former treasurer, advised would-be owners to "get a good job". Meanwhile, Tim Gurner, an incredibly wealthy property developer in his late thirties, suggested millennials avoid Avocado Toast. He doesn't mention getting a leg-up from his family to help him get started at nineteen…

    I've been convinced that the Australian property market is heading for a trainwreck for over a decade. In that time, the average house price in Sydney has gone from $600K to $1.6 million. So what do I know?

      New clock… My Oerbier clock (a vintage Ikea!) broke during the move... But this mothertrucker's so funky I re-named him James Braun...

      And some random 60ies West-German bowl… Apparently it's an ashtray but it's about 10" long so...

      I was gifted these by a local artist…

      It's hard to decide where all my framed shit goes cause I paid a lot to get these walls painted and drilling into them seems… harsh...

                @Seul I recently put up a lot of frames myself aswell and I used the tesa height-adjustable adhesive nails. works like a charm and can be removed without issues

                                    Having 6-8 weeks of work done on my house. Three builders at a time. New bathroom, building a new toilet room downstairs, two new doors out to the back garden, new floors in five rooms, and decorating throughout. Two weeks in and here is the progress.

                                    Finished bedroom painted and new floors.

                                    Early work on new bathroom upstairs. Travertine and freestanding bath in.

                                    New WC downstairs toilet room. This is an area of the kitchen extension to the old victorian terrace house. There is currently a shower room at the end of the extension. That shower room will be removed to make way for a sitting area at the end of the kitchen with big French doors opening out to the garden. Toilet with built in sink takes up less space.

                                          Bought some oversized Luminarc bowls and decided to get some plants for it. They'll grow over the bowls, eventually. It'd take me longer to repot them...

                                          And some more flowers and dried cattails...
