Due to some family commitments I'm staying at my folks place this weekend at Casula - there is something a bit weird about sleeping in the same room as you did when you were a kid - so much is familiar, yet so much has changed too - not just in the room but I'm different as well. Interesting.
Anyway I managed to get out for a trot this afternoon and naturally I headed off for Casula Station and the Georges River - as a kid I virtually lived down in the "bush" - be it on foot or by bike every spare moment was usually taken up roaming the river/railway strip between Liverpool Station and Glenfield Station (Casula is between the two).
So today was meant to be a nostalgic run but it didn't quite turn out that way - everything was so different and I was actually exploring instead.
One constant though - the bell birds of my youth (well their decendants anyway) were there to call to me in not quite Kendellesq surroundings given the paved pathways that now exist - but at least it was still the "bush". Very enjoyable :-)

Did your feet hang over the edge of the bed?
Ha - Kendell and his freakin' watermoons! Sounds like a great trot around your childhood haunts. No complaints about the back either- I hope all is well again (or well on it's way).
So I guess this means we won't see you tomorrow?
I'm glad sleeping in your old back didn't aggrevate your back (like it does mine!).
To quote Cirque, not bad for a fat bloke ;-)
Gee, I can't imagine ever sleeping in my old bedroom again. My parents have moved about 25 times since I was a kid.
Must be weird!
Ah, nostalgia. It ain't what it used to be... (but bellbirds bring back so many memories for me :-))

Nice running and exploring a know area. Nice being like that since a child. I think my culture is anti-sports so no tradition at all in my case :S
Such a descriptive post. I could almost hear the Bellbirds calling. Hang on a tic, that is my mobile phone!
Cool, must be fun checking out the young 2P haunts. Lots of mischief I bet!
