"usually grown up's grow out of toys..."
'that's not true!' (I pipe)
the woman reponds with concealed laughter 'it's meant to be true'
10.16am

man walks past with a huge stack of pita bread, towering from his arms above his head.
10.17am

"is it going to rain?"
'ahhum, I'm not sure'
10.18am

he walks past very quickly, on a mission or in training?
10.19am

tram passes, it makes the ground vibrate, we are all connected by concrete
10.20am

phone call interrupts my observation, library is closed, not even I can get in
10.22am

man rolling small trolley past, red, white and chocolate coloured fabric
10.23am

the pedestrian ticker grabs my attention as the pace frenetically alerts to the alloable space of time to cross safely
10.24am

small dog that has been waiting patiently out the front of tin pot, is untied and set to the freedom of being able to walk again (though tethered)
10.25am

tram in opposite direction, woman in blue scarf crosses road to board tram which has paused.
10.26am

the metronome of the ped crossing continues.
10.27am

I look around, checking for something to document. I hear a bird, sound like a seagull but could be a pidgeon.
10.28am

green car passes, driver has a beard and glasses, slows down and thinks about parking, drives away.
10.29am

woman in sunglasses and black boots walks past, cigarette in one hand, coder in other.
10.30am

three trams pass in quick succession, one after the other, last one says it's 'not in service' what does that mean?
10.31am

woman In black boots walks back past me again, sunglasses on her head, no cigarette.
10.32am

dog barks in the piedimonte car park, I can't see if it's tied up out the front of the supermarket or hanging out the window of a car.
10.33am

an amazing looking dog sloughs past on a lead, he looks a bit scary in his casual yet powerful presence
10.34am

my fingers are getting cold, I'm standing out the front of the library, typing this on my telephone
10.35am

another person with sunglasses, a man, it's really not sunny, actually quite overcast, cold and grey
10.36am

someone with the magical key has arrived, we enter the library, it's warm.
10.37am

its not as loud in here, but you are still aware of the life on the street, I can still hear the barking dog.
10.38am

I just found a postcard for the sharehood "meet your neighbours, see what happens" it's such a great idea
10.39am

now that I am in here, perhaps I should turn my attention to this art making, this responsive drawing that I am engulfed in on the street windows
10.40am

walk to kitchen and find my stack of books I'm referencing, I'm keen to get back into Armenian architecture today and see where it takes me.
10.41am

stop looking at phone, look into space.
10.42am
