School Holiday artworks on the station platform<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Ugh! All last week my body was very After Easter \u2013 meaning it kept telling me it wants to stay home, sleep in, watch tv and eat lots and lots of Easter eggs. But we must work and I console myself that if I hadn\u2019t gone into work I would have missed;
\n– A small boy making squeaking noises to mimic the cry of the flocks of rainbow lorikeets that are feasting the gum trees around the station
\n– A young man wearing bright gold sneakers and carrying a flower a la Oscar Wilde.
\n– A man metal detecting on the grass nearby looking for old pennies. He found only bottle tops, squashed deodorant bottles and an American one cent piece. \u201cI look on it as a deep clean of the landscape,\u201d he said.
\n– A chat with young men from the Graz (Austria) Boys Choir
\n– Lots and lots of happy school holiday kids with their parents and grandparents and stuffed animals bought at the zoo. Noisy but nice.
\nOn the other hand if I hadn\u2019t been at work I would not have the bruise on my lower stomach that I got from trying to help an elderly man manoeuvre his scooter inside the train. He panicked and reversed by mistake and wedged me against a railing. Ouch!<\/p>\n
