pulp mural

Pulp Kitchen is fast becoming my go to breakfast spot.

They’ve also added this very beautiful mural to Ainslie shops.

Their three cheese omelette is a nice fatty treat.

But their toilets are terrible, with no disabled access.

A visit to the dunnies is quite an adventure, more-so when it’s raining. You almost need a rope and carabiners.

I am currently living right next to these shops. We are moving soon and will be very sorry not to have such a vibrant shopping/business/pub nearby..

I agree with you DrKoresh about unapproved street art in general due to its dynamic nature, but either way always great to see new art works on the walls!

Clearly I don’t have as much loose change in my pocket as you, johnboy. My breakfast go to spot involves weet-bix in my kitchen. It fast became this aged eight and has been consistently average yet filling over the years.

Sounds good. I prefer muesli or a fruit smoothie, the missus likes porridge, I try to dress it up a bit with fresh banana or apple when I have time. Pancakes or the big brekky (made at home) is a once a week thing, bacon, hash browns, mushrooms, poached eggs – so good.

As a shift worker though nothing like going out for “breakfast” at the end of a night shift on a Saturday or Sunday morning.

A lot of these “trendy” cafe goers just buy a coffee (sorry, “latte”) and then occupy a table for 2 hours (reading the free newspaper), so they aren’t necessarily rolling in it. Many are absolute cheapskates. Still, this helps the cafe appear “buzzing” and popular even though the hipster chair plants aren’t actually spending any money past. Nothing deters potential customers like a completely empty premises (which is sad).

I like the thick cut bacon in their brekky. It’s an interesting variant on the usual big breakfast. Pricey though.

I don’t like it, but if Pulp Kitchen paid for it then good on them. Not my money so they can do what they like.

And, sadly, the fabulous wrapping paper graffiti along Lyneham IGA has been waterblasted off …

Money well spent, we can’t have unapproved splashes of colour disrupting the uniform of grey and brown.

Not so keen on the Skywhale but I do like the airconditioner shaped observation balloon tether and all. Wonder what pilots of the Great War thought of that…

I usually prefer graffitti to murals because approved/commissioned murals tend to be incredibly fecking boring, but this I like.

Like… lilke…. where’s the Like button? Nice for the residents of that little enclave too, something nicer to look at than that ugly old wall.

mural, tick. beautiful, hmmm…

i prefer the skywhale.
