I'd forgotten how busy Cleveland Street can be in the early hours of the morning. Although I like to wake early, it's been a few months since I've wandered down the road in the early hours. As with last time, I'd run out of milk. There's a particular brand of milk at the nearby service … Continue reading Yes, it’s raining in Surry Hills

I like all kinds of art – music, theatre, film, sculpture etc – but in recent times, it’s visual art that interests me more, especially contemporary works. Here’s some of the stuff that I’ve found interesting lately.

But all of a sudden, a series of "spontaneous invitations" came through for lunch and dinner yesterday, and to catch up with my friend Kate, today.

I get up early (as I've always done) and have breakfast. Over breakfast, I check the overnight news and … Continue reading Four Months Later

As I mentioned a few months ago, I have "excess leave", and rather than take a block of holidays, I've been taking one day off each week. When it all started, I was going to galleries, swimming, catching up with friends … Continue reading Work Free Wednesday @agnsw
