Last minute Christmas shopping panic — everyone else's, not mine! First day of my break, tired from last night's late finish, I wandered up the street at about eleven to gather my thoughts and look around. The more frenetic the crowds got, the more relaxed I felt, their panicing only seemed to emphasise the fact that I had absolutely nothing to do!

Called past the Tennyson building, a lovely old warehouse that's been empty for months. I'd been hoping that it would be redeveloped in a “sensitive” way, maybe keeping the entire old building, or even just the façade. But no, come the first of January, the bulldozers are moving in and the place is being demolished — presumably to make way for more non-descript three-storey townhouse apartments. At least I managed to capture a couple of photos before it vanishes.

Lunch, a little shopping, a leisurely walk and then home for a siesta — all preparation for the long drive up to Yass.
