Wednesday 14th March (day 13)
If you read
my blog you will know that since arriving in Sydney I have gotten lost walking
around the city on many occasions, and today was no exception. I think I spent the majority of the day
getting lost. Just when I got to know
Kings Cross (the area where the hostel was) I move to a new area, now I have to
learn Surry Hills like I learnt Kings Cross.
I use the
term lost a lot and maybe I am being a bit harsh on myself. Perhaps I could use the term “unplanned
exploration”, or “spontaneous wondering”.
Today I was
doing my proper food shop; I had mainly got stuff for my room yesterday with
only a small amount of food. I decided
to try and find the nearest supermarket that I originally attempted to find
yesterday, I even took a map out with me and planned the journey before leaving
but of course my urge to do unplanned exploration got the better of me and I
was exploring areas that I had not intended to explore. After one failed journey I went out again and
finally found the wretched shop.
I was glad I
didn’t spontaneously wonder on the way back because that would have been bad
whilst carrying 2 heavy bags containing some frozen foods. Putting food on the shelves in my room and in
the fridge in the kitchen felt good. I
could actually survive in this house now.
Our fridge smells quite bad though; every time I go to open its door I
know that there is a horrible smell waiting to jump out at me. But it is nothing compared to the smell of
the kitchen bin. I have never smelt anything
that bad in my life. If I am ever hungry
but I don’t want to cook I just open the bin for a second, the smell is enough
to make even the most hungry of people not feel hungry anymore.
Hi Mike have just caught up with your blog- at least you'll appreciate the home comforts on your return! All that walking you must be exhausted, but maybe you could earn a bit by being a Harry Potter look-alike! Take care love Caz x
