I left work at 5 or so, got into Maddie's little car, drove to Newtown with her. Jumped out at the red light, ran across to the station entrance, got on my train after paying the $4 fare. Got off in Redfern, 5 minutes away, went up some stairs and down some others, got back on another train, the one to Epping. This train passed through Newtown but didn't stop, I looked out the window at the sunny platform where I had been just ten minutes before.
The easy afternoon sun filled the train carriage, and I couldn't stop a smile from coming (not that I wanted to). Jacky is going to meet a family tomorrow who want a live-in nanny, and she's been so up and down with job possibilities that this is positively wonderful. And, everything else is good too.
I might spend Christmas in Walcha (pronounced Wull-ka) up the coast with Maddie, she has invited me to her family farm. We'll see, but it would be very nice.
Nothing concrete and/or writerly to say today. There are enough people out there making theories, I'll let them cover for me for a bit.

the human behind the bean
I'm a 27 year old Canadian woman. I grew up on Cape Breton Island, although my parents and their families are from Quebec and Ohio. Currently I live in Cape Breton, in a small town by the Bras D'Or Lake.
I can make a good soup and tie my own shoes. I've worked as a nanny, a potter's assistant, a shop clerk, and a janitor. I've also worked in a library, and taught computers to seniors. I've travelled to Australia and New Zealand and across Canada by train. I spent two and a half years in university before I left. I like the way the air smells in the Fall.
Since 2002 - this is my blog, a place for me to write about life, what I experience, to share my photography and my writing. I'm glad you're here!
