No thanks

It was so cold today I wore a leather jacket under a woollen coat

Back to regular programming - things I've seen from a bus or car

One day I really need to get off the bus and go look at this from the other side

Great sunset today

Why don't houses look like this? I'd live here

RIP capsicums

Flour mill in Newport, it's abandoned (see more photos here). I have a lot of stories about this place but the shortest one is that I found a bag containing a handheld radio and a huge spanner wrapped in cloth stashed under some stairs - I obviously took it and the spanner is still in my car almost 10 years later

The sunset mentioned earlier but for some reason none of these images are in order. I'm fine with that

What's new

There's been a lot of rain and I've been very tired and having second and third dinners and ridiculously vivid dreams, in that order. Still feels like winter! I don't know whether to love it or hate it but I think coming back from a late European summer makes me feel far more out-of-sorts than I normally would be. Send positive thoughts please

Hi hi hi

Well I'm back, in Australia that is (and maybe generally too, seeing as I haven't posted anything substantial in ages). The weather is nice (I can't believe that's the only thing I have to comment on) but it's annoying to go from late European summer to the start of Australian spring, it's very same-y and to be honest I could've done with a week of cold/rain/whatever

Actually, weather isn't the only thing I have to talk about - an Interesting Thing That Happened is that I bought a dining table for $30, under the impression it was a Grant Featherston knock-off, but when I checked the makers mark later it turns out that it was produced under his tenure as a design director of some kind at the Glen Waverley firm Aristoc. It's from the "Scape" series and now I have to track down the matching dining chairs because why not. If I'm going to fixate on something it may as well be mid-century Australian furniture

This was in the taxi on the way back from the airport. What have they done to my Sunshine North

The first thing I did upon my return was go to Savers, someone donated a lot of good records so I bought them, that's it

Who even lives here
Why do they like poetry
I want to know NOW
(That was a haiku btw)

I don't want to give this a title!!

Some random things I haven't posted because lazy

I feel like these things used to be everywhere, the bluestone border around the tree I mean. Are they not cool anymore

This had cladding on it for the longest time. I would've taken a better photo but I was holding a giant bag of cat food

There used to be a BP service station here

Wild 900i spotted

I went to the dentist today

My strange addiction: kitsch tea towels

This was sold with the tea towels but I don't think it is meant to be used to dry dishes

IT STILL EXISTS
