unexpected side effects of moving town
















       Sunday afternoon in the 'Rei
       Eating  medjool dates and
       Pistachio nuts
       From the Indian fruit shop
       Outside the Fernery (open nine to four daily)
       A couple are
       Dancing by the public toilets
       To the northern soul playing on the radio
       Of their Jeep Cherokee


I guess my message is that you need to make your own fun in this town.

Moving to a town where I only knew three and a half people has been strangely freeing. Getting away from the "busyness" of my normal life  freed up some space. Suddenly there is time to do those little admin jobs, make new friends, go to social events, join waka ama  or perhaps  reinvent myself completely.
