It's hard to blog when you're homeless, but that's where I've been for the last fortnight.Since the shipping container accommodation used for government officers was found to be full of formaldehyde (I knew they smelt bad, but not that bad) and closed up quicksmart, I've been living out of a suitcase in all sorts of hotels around Darwin. 12 of them in 15 days, to be precise.
They've ranged from the super-nice to the not-so-nice, including one which smelt worse than the containers themselves.
At this stage, there's no formal indication on when we'll be back in the containers (they're being tested by a bunch of very formal, very serious, scientists from Sydney as we speak) but given the complexity of the situation, and the speed at which things happen up here, there's every chance that I'll be homeless until I'm sent home in July!
