Serendipitous moments

At the most unexpected moments something wonderful and beautiful can come into your life.

Walking to work rather quickly, because I had pushed the snooze maybe one time too many and was running a little late.  Outside the Police Youth Club they have a rather old piano, it is under a cover but outside and without a lot of knowledge of how piano's work I thought the moister of our rather wet weather would of affected the sound.

Someone was playing the most amazing classical piece and I have to say that it stopped me in my tracks, transported me elsewhere and made me, above all smile, and think that today can't possibly be too bad if I can hear such beauty.

I do love those serendipitous moments in life, they are reminders of the higher more important things in life.

Sour cream to torrential rain

You would of thought that at the point of making my breakfast and dropping a tub of sour cream on the floor, the packaging splitting and ending up with sour cream all over the place, I would of just gone back to bed.

You would think but no, the day seem to slowly but inevitably go down hill with one frustrating job after another till I hop of the bus, on the way home and the heavens opening and the rain just poured down.

The torrential rain lasted only to my front door.

Well the day is over now, I'm in bed.

Tomorrow has to be better, right?

Was that a stalker?

You get off the train with a single thought through your mind...

  How to navigate this crowd of people, across the road and onto my bus home

Most days this doesn't take a lot of navigating I can do it almost thinking of other things.  Yesterday seemed no different till I hear a voice behind me saying "Excuse me" its the type of comment that makes you stop and turn around, I mean you could of left something on the train, dropped some money out of your pocket, well anything. As I turn around there is a man standing behind me who calmly says "I just wanted to tell you that you are a very beautiful woman" Boy, how do you answer that one, so I just said Thank you. 

I make a bee line across the road to my bus stop and it hits me, this man has stalked me through a busy station about 300 metres to tell me this.

You get this uncomfortable feeling at that point and think was that sweet or did someone just stalk me and tell me I was pretty?

This morning I found myself a little paranoid with anyone that had to affront to have eye contact with me.  I knew I was being silly but I had been freaked a little by the incident.

So the question I am left with is "Was that a stalker?"

Silly doofusheads

You find yourself at a set of traffic lights.

There are two other people standing there, longer than you.

It's our turn....

The green walk sign doesn't blink...what the heck!!!

Glaring annoyed at the people standing there, no one of the doofusheads had pressed the button.

As I walked across the road I happened to look up at the sky, there looking back at me was the biggest full moon.

Say no more, its crazy night!

Thump in the middle of the night

Have you ever woken to screeching tires and a loud thunk!

Its the time of night you wake slightly queasy as fear has kicked in and you try to assess what you heard and what action should be taken.

The car that hit a very solid brick wall, was stolen, the gallant young man who drove the car, ran for his life up the road as soon as he was able.  His less mobile female passenger is looking for her thong (flip flop to you non Aussies) calling out loudly to the weary people staggering out of their houses, to see if anyone needs help.  She too runs up the road.

It is only then that the state of the car becomes more apparent.  The back window has been smashed in, the car, lodged into the brick wall of a nursing home, still has its engine running and as it has been started with a screw driver no one knows how to turn the it off.

The four police cars start scouring the neighbourhood and a rather large fire truck turns up, did I mention all of these have their flashing lights going and that it was 2am.

After a wake up like that I was wide awake, kinda peeking in the backyard to make sure that there are no fugitives hiding behind the shed.

It could so easily of been a more major accident, the car was out of control and as everyone was asleep many people were in the bedrooms, injuries could quite easily of been caused and even fatalities. 

I do hope our young fugitives are really thinking about what happened and what could of happened in the stark light of day.

Suits and Scooters

Have you ever seen someone in a suit, pushing off on a scooter? 

It is just wrong, the whole picture is wrong.  Today I saw this sight, now I will give you, he was wearing a little bike helmet but still, suit and scooter...they just don't go.

Its like they have not grown up and its the last vestige of childhood hanging on as they push down the sidewalk on their little metal scooters.

If you are one of the scooter suits, don't do it... 

It just looks childish.
