去上班的路上有一条街,街上是一排两层的Townhouse,有家Townhouse外面的门前种了一棵树,树上结了许多桃子。 今天下班回家看见桃子已经成熟落地,居然无人捡拾。似乎拥有桃树的主人并不在意自家水果的丰收,留下满地的果实在夏末微热的地面上自生自灭。

To avoid the heat, I decided to do an early morning grocery shopping. So I got up at 7am, by the time I arrived the Fyshwick Fresh Food Market , it was only 7:40am. Spent half an hour in the market, no queues, no crowds, plenty of choices of food, and the most importantly, it [...]
