Sunday Afternoon Walk

This afternoon, i was walking to Toowong, and in passing one of those Asian al-fresco restaurants, i saw my friend Murray. I had a bit of time up my sleeve, so i was able to stop in and catch up with him.

Murray invited me to go to the footy for the opening game of the season, when the Gold Coast Titans take on his favourite team, the North Queensland Cowboys.

Fortunately, the Gold Coast are a forward-looking team who has chosen to build their stadium within easy walking distance of the train station.

The People in my Neighbourhood

One of the advantages of walking and cycling places is seeing people you know. Today was a good example of this.

I headed to the shops and came across Lord Mayor candidate (and former Queensland cricket star) Greg Rowell out meeting the people as part of his campaign. Added to that, he was being assisted by Cameron - who used to live in my building. He and Sally moved out when Sally got a job on the Northside.

I go to the library to return a book, and i bump into Tim. Then I'm heading home and i meet my neighbour Rod. Even though we're neighbours, i hadn't seen him recently. Turns out he has a new job. We decided we should have a bbq soon.

PS. Yes, i did quiz Greg on his policies about climate change (and gave him some of my own thoughts aswell) but i still think the Greens have the edge on him.
