A short b(l)ack and sides
Redfern Street in inner Sydney was always a little on the thin side for a place to take a coffee and have a chat with friends or locals, until now that is.
In the past six months there has been an explosion of cafes, restaurants, and wonderful new stores full of beautiful pre loved things.
The cafe COFFEE, TEA & ME opened just a month or so ago, and it has changed the sense of the hood for the good, better, best.
Now one finds a strip of Redfern Street full of the most interesting people taking their coffees, sitting on the most charming pre loved, pre used objects
that work very well as cafe furniture_An old wooden ironing board serves as a table for four, bicycle seats that have been placed on top of stools,
kindergarten tables and chairs all offer you a place to sit and watch the hustle and bustle of the street.

Find JOY wherever you can
I know I bang on about the notion of JOY, but really it is a very important thing in our lives.
It does not take much to generate it, and the effect of it can last a life time.
It is both a concrete and abstract notion at the same time.
It can occur accidentally, or through the conscious act of a person, or just by observing one's surrounds.

Remember to celebrate what brings you JOY on the 25th November.
It will honor my dear boy Jack, who brought us all so much joy and who inspired JOYDAY in the first place.
