Scribbles away in a garret overlooking the Illawarra Railway. Edits ESIA reports. Spends much time on trains. Pines for the Round Pond. Lives in interesting* times. Looks on in horror as the world turns to custard. Walk with me.

There is a smarmy git of a man, getting in my way, on purpose, all over the greengrocer’s. It took all my strength not to ram his person, hard, with a shopping trolley.
