tales from an ordinary world

2003-02-01

I itch to explore my soon-to-be new suburb, but feel I'd be jumping the gun if I do it before I've actually moved in. In the same way I'll inevitably reach back to these areas once I'm gone, surely it's ok to "reach forward" ? I'm not sure. My pet Catholic Guilt suggests I should sit tight and not spoil the surprise, not get ahead of myself. Just last weekend I hopped on a tram bound for my new suburb, but by the time we reached the Queen Vic market I couldn't do it - I had to hop out and settle for walking up to North Melbourne and back.
