Because of the position of our house (and the fact that we have more windows than walls) the sun shines on our verandah/lounge room from the moment it rises until it ducks behind the mountain (3pm in winter 8pm in summer). I think our house gets more sun than anyone else in the suburb, all the other houses are shaded for the majority of the day by trees, other houses, or the mtn because they sit right where the incline increases, but our house is on a v wide corner at the end of the street, so there's no house next to us, the house behind us is MUCH lower (we block their sun lol rip) and the house across the road is v far (the mtn blocks the sun before their house can). Basically we may have bought a house at the worst time in history but we hit the sunshine lottery lol

#i think a lot about how #the circumstances that required us (me) to buy a house at the worst time (my grandparents' care needs) allowed us to actually buy it #(the sale of their house and legally gifting me the money)#as much as everything is SO EXPENSIVE please stop taking my MONEY when i am trying to SURVIVE #our mortgage is so small compared to most peoole who bought a house in the last 3 years #when the news shows how much the latest interest rate rise will affect mortgage repayments #the lowest mortgage loan amount they show is still bigger than our current loan #so i know we have it so much easier than almost everyone #which is horrifying 😩#anyway i always pretend the cost of the house included the minimum 8 hours of sun a day we get #and feel better about it lol ☀️#tp
