I have seen three new pitchers in camp strange in a week. Two of which have BuS content, the other flaps in the breeze like an unpegged tent. 3: On my way to work on Wednesday morning, with my face half hanging out of an 'annoyingly too small to hang your face out' of window on the 373 from Coogee, listening to sinsietr (which IS a bit freaky), I saw a man running for the bus. Which wouldn't be freaky at all, except for the fact that he was actually blind. Throwing caution to the wind, he trotted alongside my blue and white breeze block, a female friend a few metres in front of him, and a loyal white dog beside him. I expected the dog to bark when he reached the bus stop, but his friend stopped him instead. She watched from the path as he mounted the bus with his canine pal, and they seated. She waited, and was still looking at him as the bus pulled away. I wonder if he knows that she stands there watching? The strange thing is the buses are extremely regular (every 4 mins), so quite why he was partaking in the hazardous and exercise-ridden act of running is anyones guess, maybe he just ran because he could? 6: Back on the bus, in the other direction on Thursday night, I became caught on the threshold of damp. To the right of the bus the sun was shining and the greenery bright, yet, to the left the heavens were black and grey little miss skybanger was pissing over the land. Just as we pulled up by the yellow circus tent that has sprung up for a few shows, a noticed that below her flow a large rainbow had formed, and I could see the complete arc. The end of the rainbow was in the circus car park, and I was considering getting off the bus and digging under a parked vw for sovereigns, but we pulled away. Instead of leaving my treasure behind, it followed me, the whole rainbow stayed beside me, like it was fixed to the bus, and the ground just rolled along beneath it. It vanished as quickly as it appeared, and I bet some scummy dingo got my gold. 9: Rather seedy was the last oddity I saw. On Saturday I got the ferry to 'Watsons bay' , which on the head of land at the entrance to sydney harbour. Imagine my horror, when on this gloriously sunny day, at the bottom of the cliffs at the harbour mouth I saw dozens of naked men lying on the rocks! I was pretty sure they were friends of Dorothy and miss skybanger, in fact this was confirmed by a colleague today who told me she saw them publicly wanking each other off on the rocks the other day. Unpeturbed I continued to enjoy the majestic view across the harbour, until some stunted arab man shook my hand and asked where I was from, 'england' I said. He then began enquiring after my sexuality, so I had to use the necessary words to get rid of him, and later saw him pestering the starkers blokes below. He was getting nowhere fast with them, and to my immense amusement he proceeded in removing his jeans (likely size 38 short) and wandering around the rocks like an excited moustached child , in the biggest pair of red spotted blue silked boxers I have ever seen. He was bound to impress, but I ran away before I could find out. So next time you think of sydney harbour, or see pictures of the opera house and bridge, think of all the seediness foaming at the mouth! Oh, and if anyone cares, I think Beck is an incredibly funky chap, but his songs, while razz A M and Tazz, have no emotion and ultimately leave me cold (Save some very lush moments on 'Mutations') once the initial adrenalin wanes.
