Local Wanderings

Last Friday Ben wasn’t feeling well (it seems breathing in all that dust when moving irritates sinuses and tonsils. Who would have guessed?) so he took the day off work to go see a doctor in case it was some sort of sinus infection. After that was out of the way we decided, seeing it was a bloody beautiful day, to go for a walk and explore our new neighbourhood.  It was also a good excuse to walk to Petersham (the next suburb over) and get Portuguese chicken for lunch. Not that we need an excuse to get Portuguese chicken and chips, really.

For once I didn’t have to try and sneak a photo of Ben. We’re both as bad as each other when it comes to having our photo taken, so normally I get a bunch of blurry shots of the back of his head. It must have been the nice weather putting us both in a good mood.

We’re right under the flight path, so the planes can get pretty close when they fly over. The double windows at our place helps cut the noise from the planes back quite a bit, so most of the time they’re quieter than the ones that flew over us at Marrickville. It shows how much I’ve changed over the years, I used to get irrationally terrified that the planes were going to crash into the house when they flew over; now I reach out to try and touch them when I see them.

Spring really seems to have come out in force around here. I had to keep running to catch up to Ben because he didn’t realise I had stopped to take photos of plants and had kept walking, excited to eat chicken. It seemed that everywhere I looked there were plants springing up cheerfully and I just couldn’t help but get distracted by them.

It’s funny how different this area is compared to the other suburbs around here. We’re the suburb next to Newtown, just one stop away, but it’s so much quieter here. There’s such a different atmosphere, but I think I like it. I’m looking forward to exploring more of the area while I have the spare time.
