back from study camp
Am feeling very rejeuvenated and with better perspective since study week at UNSW. Daily walks from Coogee to Randwick, multiple places to get coffee, good views of the beach, sunny weather and there was the best bookshop in the world! It's like a ladder of good bookshops, and each surpasses the former. This is better than Gleebooks, Berkelow, the bookshops in Potts Point and the one in Melbourne near Pelligrinis. What was charming about the bookshop was the staff. There was a guy with a long hockey playing girls ponytail halfway down his back, tattooes and Metallica like tshirts. He looked like a 40 something mechanic or guitar teacher. There was the guy with the hard arse nose ring who was quite meek and mild and probably the most apologetic about not being helpful. Then there was the young blonde guy playing with premature ageing by having a beard and wearing vneck grandad jumpers. The book shop faces one of the many grassy quadrangles and mid century cloister style buildings....
