| The chipped
blue bowl was the first discovery I found in our new house in Albert
Park.
After that I found all sorts of things, from an old bullet also
in the garden to a cracked tile in the bathroom and a dried-out
cat carcass in the drains. But the chipped blue bowl remains the
remembered sign of someone having dwelt within our walls before
we came.
It’s true that sometimes I think
of getting rid of it and sometimes I use it as a watering
bowl for our dog especially when it rains. But somehow it survives
every clean-up. Apparently it likes the place and wants to stay.
