Still she wished ...

Anyone who lives in Sydney is aware of what the weather here has been for the last couple of days: rain coming down in torrents. So, I walked in to work on Monday and Tuesday, because it’s easier to walk with an umbrella and get slightly less wet than cycling without one.* Upon walking half-way home one day and waiting 20 minutes for a bus (which reminded me why it’s good to cycle), I tried hard to stay out of the second-hand bookshop at the bus stop, so I wouldn’t either miss the bus when it did come or buy more books. However, they did have postcards of the covers of books for sale near the door, and I couldn’t resist this one.

*Despite the fact that I live in a great place and got 100% in this “walkability” test (H/T Ally), though it invented a supermarket where there isn’t one, there is no very direct public transport between my house and my work, unless I defy Pythagoras and take a long route involving two buses, three shorter walks between them and lots of waiting around, which hardly seems worth it.
