The number of houses around me where you never see anyone engaged in outdoor activities, is quite significant. I don’t know if they are agoraphobic or see outdoorsy stuff as peasant life.

I am working in Sydney on a matter- been in a 1 bedroom unit which is big with balcony near Newtown. Been here 3 days, another 1.5 weeks to go.

Although I can walk to Newtown I am already getting stir crazy- miss walking to beach in Newcastle and having lunch watching ocean, and being at home having air and balconies and watching sunsets over Watagan ranges and engaging with the Magpies and Kookaburras and watching Kites float over the rear cliff.

Some people like apartments and dense city life- I must be a country peasant....
