If life was perfect…

October 30, 2008

If life was perfect you’d go out for mojitos every Monday night after work.
If life was perfect you’d have someone to cook you breakfast on a Tuesday morning, and someone to cook dinner for on a Tuesday night.
If life was perfect you’d catch a spot of theatre on Wednesdays, a dirty rock band on Thursdays, [...]

London VS Melbourne

October 20, 2008

Written Saturday 18th
I’m sitting with a coffee in town- just people and world watching. Looking at the faces, the buildings, the roads, the bodies, everything. It’s got me thinking about home- and exactly where home is for me now?
