The council is kindly offering socially distanced art classes (via Zoom) to relieve some of the COVID blues and ennui. I have enrolled in two. I start on Friday. I have no artistic talent whatsoever but it will be nice to do something after so much inactivity.
My sister and brother-in-law have bought a house together with their daughter and son-in-law in Marrickville. My niece and her husband will live in the front of the house and my brother-in-law is going to build a small flat at the back of the yard. It will be a big change from an architect designed house in Turramurra surrounded by tall gum trees but it is what they want - to downsize and to be close to their children. My nephew lives in Marrickville too so there will be lots of cups of coffee at the cafe down the road.I live in the next suburb along, a stone's throw away, so there will be cups of coffee with me too.
Directly across the road from me has been given council permission to subdivide and build so soon there will be dust, trucks and congestion. I am not looking forward to it. Behind me, two other builds are going ahead. With Westconnex that makes for a lot of building activity.
The Westconnex tunnels are coming. The tunnelling has already reached the local school less than 500 metres away. I have my property survey on Friday morning which needs to be done in order to be able to claim compensation for damage after the tunnelling is completed.
I have been conversing with my cousin overseas about family history. He is in the process of writing the family history and is talking to my 92 year old father to obtain information.
To be continued.
