Patterns in suburbia in Geelong

from w
While waiting for a bus with two recycled bags of shopping from 'Not Quite Right' and the veggie shop, ($30 plus $16) I noticed a house with many decorative surfaces - Spanish tiles, orange bricks, two cement birds, trimmed bushes, and a fancy fence. This is rather typical of our suburb of Newcomb - houses built in the 30s to 60s. I usually walk home - about 20 minutes away - but the bags were too heavy this time.
