Fbg 6.4
It was the end of a long day, with a surreal and unsettling mystery involving a suspiciously turd-like object (or was it a snake?) on the seat at the bus stop by Iceland - it was a drama that ended with screaming, fleeing, and gallons of council-blasted water. I still don't have a clue exactly what went on.
As I was walking up to the bus stop next to Iceland, I saw a Council type water tanker/truck, draw up to the bus stop, and the driver and passenger jumped out of their cab and were banging on the bus stop window from the road trying to alert the people (to something) who were sitting on those metal seats there. I couldn't understand why the council workers didn't come round the front and face the people, and neither could the people who were sitting at the bus stop looking at the council workers through the bus stop window with stupefied expressions on their faces, while holding this large corrugated water tube with water already coming out...
I looked at the bus stop seat and between two people, a lady and a man, was something that looked suspiciously like a round turd, (or a a thick snake curled up). I stood and looked. It was a surreal drama. I looked as the council water tanker people are still banging on the window. And I am wondering, if it is a turd why did the man and the woman sit next to it without noticing. This does not make sense. The woman is looking at the man banging on the window, and appeared to be doing urgent hand motions to say, get away get away. The woman cannot comprehend. At that moment, the woman looked at her side at the turd/snake thing curled up. She threw her hands in the air, her phone went flying, she screamed head off, realised she was not holding her , looked frantically around for it, snatched it up,and ran off into the distance.... the other three occupants of the other seats took notice by this time, they shot off in the opposite direction. My quick exit was to go to Iceland....
From inside the safety of Iceland frozen foods, and where no one screams, I watched the council workers blast this thing whatever it was, with gallons of water.
I still could not figure it out and most of people shopping in Iceland did not notice any of this going on. The whole thing was over very quickly, and was quite scary to watch....
I finish my shopping and go out, and because of the heat the water is already drying up . And a man unaware of the drama going on before is now sitting on the seat where the turd/snake was.
I shudder and get away quickly, as fast as my elderly walker will go...
But just moments before that absurd confusing scene, I had passed this incredible sight parked outside the Emporium - a mobility scooter so absolutely customised in every way. A life-sized raven perched proudly on a monkey-headed plush backrest, chrome details shining, and a whole gang of soft toys grinning from the front bumper. And driving the scooter controls was a magnificent unicorn head eating a carrot....
So this will be my creative...
Time to lock up and feed the beasties.
And I need some sleep after the drama of today...
So I will say night night, and I hope my dreams are not of bits of turd flying through the air and water....
I need a peaceful day at home where everything is normal and no drama happens....
