I’m moving

Follow me here

This was only ever very temporary. To test out server options and blogging engines.

I can’t easily find a way to import from this to MT so will hope the breadcrumbs find me.

I’ve inported my typepad entries though and the Redfern entry so you won’t miss much ! :)

Redfern

Had a lazy late lunch with a dynamic beautiful friend. At this deli outside on a tree lined street. It was one of them there, evolving meals picking at pastrami, eating and being fed stuffed mushrooms. Discussions floated around dancing and people and histories. I was struck again by the poise of the woman.

Have been to Redfern a few times of late. This is after years of fear at the violence and ghetto-ness of the place. I just heard stuff and took it; more or less unchallenged as wisdom. This in itself is (I hope) unlike me, especially given I’ve had to spend the greater part of my days – challenging other such perceived wisdoms.

Ok so. My impressions are nothing much like my fears. At times my fears of being mugged or pick-pocketed or worse where alarmingly obvious, even to the young Aboriginal woman who tried to engage the un-engageable me the other day. My fear was “smell-able”.

I am ashamed. I like to think of myself as open minded.

I even walked past the infamous Block the other day and barely noticed save for the artwork on the brick wall welcoming me. I can see why there might have been riots there. I can also see them happening anywhere that forms a hub for any passionate group.

Anyway; as for my current impressions. It’s more like a urbvillage.

Fly through the air ….

It’s been a busy week, lots of tyre – rubber gone, mostly wasted it seems. A lot of that has been chasing the spin offs from being flipped off a STA bus at Railway Square last week. In summary form the State’s insurers, is offering me not enough to repair my laptop, in the hope I’m as dense as my willowchair seems to suggest to them.
