Went into town Wednesday morning to do some work (i.e. into Sydney proper instead of continuing skirting the fringes)

This old lady got on the train somewhere along the line and pushed her chair through to where I was sitting. I began to get up and she stopped.

No, no, i got my chair.

She places her push chair up against the door between carriages, and sets her self down.

I usually try to get an earlier train, but today I’ve been a little lazy.

I ask her:

Where are you going?

MacQuarie Street.

Just another day, another outing. She’s frail and getting on in years, but the years aren’t controlling her and she’s doing her best with what she’s got. Good for her.

Her kids are all grown up, but she’s not tied to her house. Grandma Rocks!

We cause a minor disturbance to the force as we block half the exit door as we slowly creep off at Town Hall Station. As soon as we get off, she waves me off with a thank you and then trods off slowly with her push chair.

Man, wish I still have the get-up and go when I get to that age. Unless Ma’ata or Sesilia lock me up for being annoying 8-)
