A terrible pun turned into an equally terrible office product.

(Officeworks, Parramatta)

I remember when Riverbank/Brand Smart used to be a pumping shopping centre. Only three stores left open here - I can't believe it!

Waiting for Linda and Liam to finish their shopping in Kent Street. Nowhere to park, so I'm in a no parking zone with my hazard lights on.

A few hundred meters from here, a few thousand Apple Fanboys are queuing up to check out the new Apple Store in Sydney.

Being presented with job opportunites in the lift as you head back up to your office.

Once upon a time there used to be one crappy cafe at this end of Parramatta. Today, there's no less than 20 cafes and coffee shops within a two minute walk of the office. This place has great food and quite decent coffee.

My first "over coffee" meeting at Hudson's Coffee.

Shame it's so cold and grey today.

This is the lunch room. Very relaxing outlook if you don't want to watch the cable TV feeds or read a paper.

That's home (Sydney CBD) on the horizon - about 25km (35km by road) away. Despite the overcast conditions you can see, if you look closely enough, the Sydney Harbour Bridge to the left of the main skyline.
