Walking through Darlinghurst this week, I spotted a chalked message. Something’s happened, and something’s changed. Someone’s trying to claw their way back.

This one was outside the Darlo Bar at the corner of Darlinghurst Road and Liverpool Street.

While on Burton Street, the chalked up ‘Miss You’ appeared on the wall. This one, below, was further up Liverpool Street at the corner of Darley.

Someone’s feeling the autumnal mood. Hope it works out.

Another afternoon, another character walking down a quiet lane.

This time it’s on Clarkson’s Mill Way, a tiny lane – really just a pedestrian path behind some terraces – that links Darley Street and Darlinghurst Road in Darlinghurst.

He looks downcast. GFC victim? Things must be looking up though, he’s being mobbed by butterflies.
