A local DIY enthusiast has uncovered her latest project this morning upon learning that her new fella might need a bit of work.
Sabrina Evans, a 28-year-old primary school teacher from Betoota Lakes, has spent the last few weeks basking in the glow of a blissful honeymoon period after meeting a fencing contractor from Windorah.
After meeting Dudley Donaldson at the Windorah B&S a few weeks back, Sabrina and Dudley have reportedly been going pretty steady, to the point where Sabrina’s already considering what she could get him for Christmas.
However, The Advocate can report that a Dulux paint voucher and some paint rollers might be under Dudley’s tree this year, after Sabrina ventured over to his share house for the first time and clocked that it might need a feminine touch and some proper decorating.
“This is the lounge…” pronounced Dudley, kind of proudly, as he ushered her into a room where deck chairs sat where a couch should be, and a TV rested up against the wall without an entertainment unit in sight.
“Sorry, it’s a bit messy…” he continued, nodding toward the pile of open pizza boxes on the floor, all containing discs of cabanossi that had turned black with mold.
However, it wasn’t the scattered collection of vapes on the floor or the dead peace lily sitting in the corner with soil dry as the desert that annoyed Sabrina—it was the awkward display of spirit bottles that sat on a weird shelf drilled into the wall.
“And yeah, we’ve had a few house parties here,” Dudley muttered, nodding towards the rows of half-empty Jäger bottles and one fluorescent bottle of green apple flavoured Sour Puss.
“Anyway, I thought I’d order pizza, make some drinks and we could watch a movie. Wanna try this sambuca?”
