Partly for [personal profile] tree_and_leaf, who likes to see where her flisties live, and partly Just Because:


Photobucket

M'ville Uniting Church. K's cousin was married there in the sixties. I think it's probably a former presby church, but I wouldn't swear on it.

Photobucket

Sydney skyline from Illawarra Road, near the top of the Warren. Also, a forest of pedestrian signs.

Photobucket

Anarchist graffiti on the wall of the old RSL (not that Occupy = Anarchism, it's that there's a an anarchist graffiti project going on around here, and they just happen to also support Occupy. Mostly they seem to think that an absence of police, prisons or banks would make for a happy society). I find 'your job is no excuse for your actions' kind of... disquieting, given it's right under the plaque commemorating wartime service.

Photobucket

The Post Office cafe.



After I'd tidied and re-organised the balcony a bit:

Photobucket

Ficus; Nom Nom Plant, who's been moved into a more festive, and higher-sided pot, which might keep him a bit more sheltered; daisies in the round pot and the one on the ground; lemonbalm and basil in the long pot; chives on the stool.

Photobucket

Various herbs; a tomato plant; one solitary petunia, outliving his fellows by a good twelve months; and K's chilli plants right in the front.

Photobucket

Same again, but in the other direction: Chilli, rosemary, chilli, mint, and then snap dragons in the big pot.

Damn you. Every time I try to grow chilli plants they die because I live in Scotland.

They never warn you about this on the label.

Thanks for posting these!

I think it's probably a former presby church, but I wouldn't swear on it.

Well, my first thought was that it looks as if it was built by Scots, so I'd believe that.

I wish I could get herbs to grow (or anything except weeds, really - not that I have a garden right now).

Ooh, more photos! That one of the Sydney skyline reminds me greatly of Chinatown/Spadina in Toronto. Yay vaguely similar Commonwealth-ish cities! Also, this seeing where people live idea... should be a meme?

I'll see what I can do! I attempted a view out my window earlier this morning but my camera FAILED at the exposure. But I'll try again later!

hello! i am probably inappropriately excited by these photos. it's just that usually people on the interwebs are very far away from me (in crows nest) and not anywhere recognisable by photo. also i am jealous of your balcony.

You live in a neighborhood I've ACTUALLY HEARD OF!! Only because I used to be a Lotrips fan, slightly embarrassing, and David Wenham is from there, BUT STILL.
