Angels whisper to a man when he goes for a walk.~ Raymond Inmon
Gee it certainly seemed as though the angels were whispering to us over the last few days while on our Glebe housesit. We've had a few occasions where we've been able to help out over the last week...
One of those happened when Kevin took Candy out for her morning walk the other morning. A neighbour had fallen over and couldn't get back up again - poor darling had been on the sidewalk for 20 minutes, when Kevin discovered her rocking backwards and forwards in an attempt to stand up again. Needless to say, Kevin helped her up and saw her safe to her door. Now every time we go past the gate, Candy sniffs and stops and seems to want to go visit.
We hopped on the light rail yesterday and went off to see the Archibald Prize at the NSW Art Gallery. We hopped on the train feeling a lot younger than when we slowly, and somewhat more carefully, stepped our way off again. A young fellow told us in a distraught voice, that we'd been ripped off by the ticket person. He said, 'seniors like you, should only pay $2.50 for an all day pass!'. I took a glance behind me to see who he was talking to, but realised that, yes, he was talking to Kev and myself. Oh Dear. Now technically, while Kev's going to be a senior in October, I'm not actually a senior till next year... and... I'd thought we were doing OK for our ages... but apparently not. So I had a bit of a sinking feeling for a while, and then had to stop a smile, as Kevin and I looked at one another... but thanked him for his kind thoughts.
So we doddered away from Central station, and headed off to the gallery... we had a long talk about how far we will be able to travel on our senior's bus passes soon. I'll be the one with the old guy till next year, toy girl that I am. Then possibly due to the fact that we were not actually paying attention to what we were doing, or dare I say it, due to few 'senior' moments, we got a tad lost on our way from Central station. But we didn't care, it was a nice day for a long walk, and we discovered some street art along the way including the gorgeous mosaics at 200 Goulburn Street Sydney...
Just about the time I thought we'd managed to get ourselves quite lost, we stumbled across a street sign with directions to the art gallery. Memo to self - take your glasses with you, so that you can read google directions on iphone.
