Back to Sydney for a second weekend I noticed straight away that I was more familiar with this city. Is it the amount of time that you spend in a place or the return to a place that creates familiarity?
Going to Sydney also means coming back to Melbourne. Unlocking the door to my room in East Melbourne, I know what is inside, I know how I left it, and that is comforting to me. I have started to create a Home but there are still tensions.
The everyday - our routines, establishing habits. All these add to our sense of placement. What about the products that are apart of these every day scenes? My kitchen soap at home does not look like that. I wonder how much foreign labels effect your immersion into the Home environment.
Week Six. Does this mean you're heading back to Canada soon...? Perhaps a stop in Vancouver is necessary. We have lovely art galleries that I promise to take you to if you put a west coast visit in your plans. Love the updates and the beautiful artwork by both you and Laine.
