Hanging around street corners 42/365

I have lived on this street for the last 18 months and walk past this spot every day on my way to work.

Only today I notice 'Nic' etched into the concrete, I'm assuming in 1999. It immediately took me back to when my dad replaced the hearth in a fireplace in our 15th century house. Not sure how old we were exactly but we all left our handprints and signed our names for someone to find sometime in the future and wonder who we were and probably what on earth we were doing.

1999, I was at uni and had never even thought about visiting Australia, never mind living here.

Funny how the smallest things can make you stop and think.
