New street art installation

Original location 

Mystery man prepping for reinstallation

Sneaking into new location

Where is this?
The final piece

The old Tooths brewery behind work has been gradually changed from a hole in the ground to shopping centre and apartment blocks over the last few years. The last piece of the puzzle of this gentrification of daggy old central is the removal of the wall along William Street, Chippendale. The wall had quite a few good street art pieces, by Will Coles. Unbeknownst to me Tash, a friend at work hassled the workmen for three days to secure this piece for me!

A big thanks to Tash for her never give up, I can do anything attitude to life!

Heading home

Can barely fit into my room to sleep

The annual hissy fit over packing

Sitting on the bag, helps, sort of
25 days of exploring and learning are over. Sob. Its time to suspend fantasy land and return to reality.
The current temperature in London is 35 degrees and I am sweating trying to get stuff shoved into my bags. Remind me again why Jane let me buy a floor mat and gum boots?
The 2015 treasure haul includes a rather modest 8 books, about 50 new items of clothing and a tonne of art postcards. We have done everything from shopping to sailing, visited roman villas and the Ritz, eaten cod and chips and currywurst. The number 1 treasure has to be needles medal for conquering the chairlift.
Happy to be going home to Stephen and Rosco, see most of you soon!
