IF only









I've blogged about the Peter House before. The Peter house is problems the wonkiest house, I've ever seen, and possibly in the wonkiest house in Melbourne. It is also my favourite house I've ever seen, and my dream house.
So a couple of weeks ago, my heart sunk when the Peter House came up for sale, because there was no way in hell I could buy it, and I knew that there were few people who shared my appreciation of wonkiness especially when it came to houses. ANd I knew that soon the Peter House would be no more.
Today I went and saw the Peter house in it's Open for Inspection. Because I had to, because I knew soon it would be gone forever.
I couldn't stop laughing because inside it lived up to it's wonky exterior. The stairs were on a slant, and going up them you felt sea sick, and one of the bedrooms upstairs had a slightly rocky feel. Even the toilet was wonky.
It was too wonderful to be true. SO I have no choice but to enter the lottery this week. Because
it's my only shot.
IF only , if only
Happy Saturday.

I've got a funny feeling in my chest for you. I understand how you can feel this way for such a house. A few nursery rhymes are whizzing round my head.
It's only hope is that someone like you buys it.
