Why come to Perth then?
Just a suggestion - if you are bored and want to get out and meet people go and do some volunteer work
Thanks for that suggestion, not a bad idea. Good way of meeting people.

Perth does not sound like the place for an active mind. However houses look cheap as chips, must be areas that are on the Up, can you buy a house and do it up at least it will give you something to do and save you money on your house purchase.

As Karawara's other half, it is easy to judge why the male species of this couple is bored, too bored to do any of the cooking, cleaning, ironing

![Smile](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I thought going to the library would be a good idea, I have an idea for writing a book, 30 mins after we arrived he sideled up to me with his "I've had enough now can we go" expression, and of course we went

Please keep your responses coming as this will keep him entertained and will keep him from disturbing me whilst I am enjoying the peace and relaxation that this time affords.

I have already suggested volunteering but he doesn't want to make that much effort. Please remember when listening to my other half is that he likes to moan about things and this is one thing he does not get bored with

I will obey ev'ry golden rule
Get told by the teacher
Not to day - dream

Hi owieb, I noticed you mentioned surfing at Trigg beach - Looking forward to catching some waves there but I'd read that there is pretty heavy localism at that break. How do you find the attitude?
Hope to be there by Dec. if I can sell this bl*%dy house !

Not sure riding a bike in Perth would be good idea, driving is scary enough.
The leather has loads of appeal though.
