Flatmates

The last few days have seen my quiet solitary existance disrupted by the arrival of two new tennants into Curail Watannabe. 5 months is a fair time to spend in ones own company. Cooking whenever I felt like it. Showering whenever I felt like it. Playing my music as loud as I liked (off course neighbourly concerns are noted here).

So I have been fairly apprehensive about the arrival of Matt (permanent teacher from Sydney) and Mark (help teacher from Tottori, also originally from Sydney). What would they be like ? Would they be chest beating World War 2 obsessed loons with a secret craving for Hitler like Steve ? Or maybe geeky, ain't got a clue fish out of water types like Jason ? What would I be like as a flatmate again ?

Myself and Evan were pretty similar and this worked to our advantage. We also have become friends, so I was and still am trying to not to make comparisons.

So lets be honest...

They are both great!

Matt is older (37), a little more reserved and stoic but seems like a sound guy. I think he will settle in well, although it's a brand new bag for me!

Mark and I get on well. We've similar interests and find the same things funny. We are about the same age with similar personalities.

Its making this a lot easier on me...although the seductive call of Jason's soon-to-be empty appartment is calling...

Ha Ha Ha...
