This morning I felt like a local...

I was feeling the effects of a late night this morning and couldn't really decided what to have for breakfast. All I knew was I didn't want some expensive salty breakfast in a cramped cafe. So I wandered around the fountain in Kings Cross to the weekly Saturday markets.

I decided on a bacon and egg roll from one of the stalls because a line that long couldn't be wrong. I sat down on the wall near the grass and people watched for a while. The morning sun was fantastic. Within minutes I started to see people I recognised. Some stopped to chat while others just waved from the distance. My breakfast roll was such a tasty treat.

I've not really lived in an area where you could just bumped into people, but I'm liking this.

I'm so jealous. I know and love the area where I think you live, it's where a couple of my best friends in the whole world (does that sound a bit school-girl?) live. I'm jealous and a little sad as I know I'll never be able to live there as TOH sadly doesn't want to live so far away from UK.

... I think I'll join Darth in a bit of jealousy. Currently Newtown seems to have lost it's 'village-y' feel and I know I've been enjoying my trips over there much more than staying round here.

I must say, spending the weekends (and most week nights) at McBrads in Surry Hills, I can see what you mean. It is rather nice to run into friends in the street or at a cafe! Suddenly, the North Shore seems very far away!
