The Markets & Music.

Something I love about Sydney are the markets. Every weekend, nearly every suburb has a market in one of the local schoolyards. Last weekend, Nay and I scored a few deals at one in Glebe, this weekend it was Rozelle. There are food vendors, antique sellers, naturopath products, clothing dealers, regulars, one-timers, a bit of everything, and everyone's up for a good bartering session. My favourite booths are the ones run by a couple of design school roommates moving to New York for a while and getting rid of half the wardrobes they've acquired over the last few years. And, if you show up at 3.30 just as everyone's packing up, you can score extra good deals on all the stuff no one wants to take back home with them...


The highlight of the weekend was getting some free tickets to hear Michael Nyman and his orchestra at the Sydney Opera House last night. He did the soundtracks for The Piano and Man On Wire, among others.


Yes, that man in the front is a native aboriginal playing the electric guitar and the didgeridoo, at the same time. Amazing stuff.
