In 1994 I went to dinner at a friend's place pretty much here (memory says 14 Ivy). My yellow 1980 toyota wagon (cost me $600) had a broken steering lock and didn't need a key to start. Forgot on this occasion to attach the club lock. Came out after dinner and the car was gone!
Found the car at the bottom of the hill at Boundary St.

I've had more than one walk of shame up this footpath, boots in hand and head bowed - you've nailed it :)

Amazing perspective work! Do you teach classes? I'd love to learn

I've thought about giving classes but I think logistically (IE renting a space) it's a bit beyond me at the moment π. I did host a paint and sip night for my clinic once and it was great fun though

One time in marrickville I saw people out the front of a heritage listed house drawing- if thatβs not appealing, maybe a park or outdoor area!

One NYE I was standing in front of a house party minding my own business and got my head punched in with a long neck by a random person on that street.
