Welcome to Day 28 of #AvoidingTheNews by diving into other things that pique my curiosity. I’ve joked about this with friends for years, but is now the time to explore more housing opportunities like this?

Staying off the news this week (which is a first for me in years), though it can't be avoided altogether with using social media.
But my fortitude is at a low ebb, so for the sake of my brain, no doom scrolling this week. Fluffy stuff only. As you were.
