Apparently the seats at my local bus stop have been removed. These are seats that ALWAYS have people sitting on them. There is no explanation for it. There is also the inexplicable fact that I found this out through Bron's LJ, even though these seats are five minutes walk away. Which made me realise the interesting point that even though I've lived here for a year now, I've barely made any effort to connect to Mascot as a place. I'm constantly exploring the edges of it... the swamps, the wetlands, the botany bay foreshore, the alexandria canal; and I'm constantly heading for more exotic destinations like Newtown and Kingsford. Mascot just doesn't float my boat, and nor does it raise my flag. In my pretty little cottage, I feel more at home than anywhere else I've lived in this funny city, but Mascot feels less like home than Canberra does. Part of me is aching to live in the inner west, and part of me is aching to be at home... But I love my house here, so I'm gonna stay as long as I can. And spend some more time in those swamps... fuck the shops :D
