No corner shop in time for the resurrection
I ran into Rod the corner shop reviver the other
day and asked him if Revolver would be open for Resurrection Day. 'When's that?'
he asked. When I told him it was forty days after Easter, he replied in the
emphatic negative. Shortly after that conversation, this notice appeared in the
window:
In case you can't read it because of the lovely suburban sunset glare, it says:
Cute little lights have appeared at the front of the shop
The balcony is built, complete with bullnose awning. Iron lace and railing are stacked on the veranda, not visible here:
Rod and Chie the owners, have made their mark in the footpath outside the converted butcher shop next door
And just because it's there, here's a tiny replica of Michelangelo's Moses that passes for a garden gnome in this part of the world.

I know, the last one was the "last" update ...
But this one is YOUR fault ... you guys keep telling me you like
them .. so I now like writing them
So ... THIS IS THE LAST UPDATE!!
The cafe is nearly finished (so am I!). Thanks again for everyone
who gave words of encouragement ... it really helped me. The reason it has
taken so long is ... LACK OF MONEY (not passion). Now we are just
doing finishing touches ... then finding staff, suppliers, etc ... Hang in there
it will be worth it ... People ask me, 'What style will it be?' Well not to
give too much away but it's an eclectiv mix of antique beauty with a hiphop street
beat ... Food will be simple (I hate pretentious food) ... awesum coffee and all local
friendly staff ... can't say any more ...even tho I want to.
Oh and as for when will al this finally happen? ... SOON!!! Or else they will be reopening Callan Park just for me!!!
Much love again
Rod

About this Blog
This started out as a patchy journal about family life with my mother-in-law, Mollie, who has Alzheimers and was then living with us. Mollie has moved, first into a "low-care facility" then, in July 2004, into a nursing home. As these and other events have overtaken us, the blog has moved on ...
