You should definitely buy an underground eco-house with round windows and doors if you plan on staying in Aus any longer. How tall is J? I find men get very tetchy if they keep bumping their heads though. Our summer house in Finland was clearly built by tiny hobbit people, as the original doorways are about 5, 8", so we all have to duck through from one room to another. My brother is for some reason incapable of remembering to do this and consistently comes out of his duck too early and thwacks his head. Holidays there are punctuated with the phenomenon of finding a 24 year old man curled in a fetal position on the floor in a doorway, swearing blue murder, having hit the same sore spot on his head for the nth time.

Appealing as a hobbit house is though, I think you should both move over to Europe, where the climate is more sensible and you'll be closer to MEEEEE! (also to many other cool people).
