What, what, what??!?!

So we’re taking a walk this evening, as we very often do, and we’re heading down a street near our place toward a cross street when this dude rockets by on a unicycle. And not just any old unicycle (because, you know, you see them every day…) but a friggin weird unicyle with a giant wheel.

It was amazing. Surreal. I forget what we were chatting about but the conversation immediately stopped and we looked at each other as if to verify that we’d both seen the same thing…

We quickly rushed to the end of the street and looked around the corner for a better glance (I wanted to shout out at him and ask him WTF) but he had vanished into thin air!

This image, from www.unicycle.co.uk, is the best representation I could find online (the wheel is about a metre in diameter):

Missing Sydney

I missed Sydney yesterday. I wanted a doner kebab for lunch, and I wanted to drink a Lift with it. I wanted to lose myself in the pedestrians downtown, walk to Circular Quay and ride the ferry to Manly and have a ‘second lunch’ at Sea King.

Somewhat strange, because usually if ‘I could be anywhere’ it would be somewhere in Japan. But yesterday it was Sydney…
