Skidknee.
I recently had my first week-long holiday in several years and found it hard to relax. Somehow I have forgotten what it’s like not to work. Bad thing indeed! I went to Sydney with the Mrs. and stayed with the in-laws. It was very relaxing towards the end of the 7 day break, especially last Saturday when we wandered around Paddington, Darlinghurst, Kings Cross and then Enmore and Newtown from 9 in the morning until 11 that night. Surrey St. in Darlinghurst has a burger joint called BURGERMAN, and if you feel the need for a burger in Sydney, make sure you go there. Fresh and yummy.
I definitely married the right lady because she gave me a pub crawl for our anniversary on that same Saturday. We had a beer at every small little back street pub we passed. My favourite was a little old pub on the corner of Underwood St. and Elizabeth St. in Paddington. If you know what it is called please let me know.
Stanmore, Enmore and Newtown remain my favourite parts of Sydney for some reason (anywhere stencils exist seems a good place for me).
A big cult.
Have you heard about the Russian cult that has hidden its members in a cave to escape from the end of the world? If the world is going to end, it will end in cave as well won’t it? Or is there a clause in the great creator’s ‘end plan’ that says that ‘all underground dwellings will be exempted from being obliterated into sub-atomic particles’.
I was going to rant on for a bit and then discuss my desire to create my own cult…but I’m too tired to subvert the dominant paradigm tonight.
The next blog post will be made after a 980km drive and loads of caffeine. Yep, it’s time to catch up with the out-laws in-laws in ye olde Sydney town.
