Routine
What you don't see
Group Title (Optional)
It has been a while since I have enjoyed routine this much.
Every Saturday, Nathan and I have had a batch brew at our new local favourite cafe in South Yarra after a sweaty morning of basketball. Our barista Zach gives us a couple of milk crates to sit by the curb and we talk life.
I have been stumbling into my neighbour Claire at the park on weekends to read in the sun; and we have bonded over books, food and change. She has given me FODMAP-friendly cookies, and different perspectives to ponder as a millennial observing her life as an independent woman slightly older than me.
Sometimes I spend enough money at the local green grocers that they give me flowers. A couple of weeks ago, I found a vase to put them in.
