Last days of new years break
Checked out a new op shop, which was good. There are some church ones in the area that I’ve been to, the type that only open once or twice a week and generally when you’re at work. There’s one on St Georges Square, next to the church that’s around the corner from the Greek Orthodox blue domed church. Also went to on in Largs Bay on Jetty Road. Today’s op shop was a Vinnies one, I bought 4 cushions (2 for use, 2 for their cushion inserts), the book about work by Elizabeth Wynhausen and the Australian Book of Ocean Writing, edited by James Bradley. As I typed that, I imagined my sister saying something disparaging about him, due to her university friend having an intense but platonic/unrequited romance with him. University days are great for that sort of thing :) But really, he’s managed to be erudite and support himself as a full time writer. Can only envy that. Then I came home and sorted and filed bills, placed books on book shelves, washed and “styled” the yellow cushion covers ...
