Totally surreal how mundane things can be even in the face of an ongoing siege a few blocks away. I came out to George St, caught a bus, and I’m almost home. Other than a few shops being closed and a brief glimpse of the crowd of rubberneckers as we passed Martin Place, you’d never know it was happening.

I’m still happy to be getting out of the CBD though.

9News on in the background, but I’m focused on the rosé. What a day.

It’s over. In the end, looks like it was a random nutter with a gun. Incredibly sad. We’re not used to that sort of thing happening here.
