Today I caught a train. Which I've done before, so it wasn't that exciting. I did go to Cronulla though, and that was exciting. Not many of you know that I really like surfing, and I just happened to turn up on the first day of the Billabong Australian Boardrider's Battle. I'd never actually seen a surfing comp live before, so it was very cool.
I went for my first swim on a beach I didn't know, all by myself, which was a big thing. A very cold thing. I saw a seagull. I ate some Malteasers. Thanks to the crazy wind, I got sand in places I didn't know sand could go.
As I took in the very beautiful sights, I realised that my trip had taught me some very interesting (not necessarily very valuable,) lessons;
1. Some Australians are very UV conscious, demonstrated to me by a man diligently rubbing sunscreen onto his shins, as they were the only exposed part of his body.
2. In Sydney, Possums are not a considered a furry and friendly critter that indicated the eco system is healthy, but a noisy and germ ridden pest. Thank you "'Possums Away' - Fast acting, same day service" trailer for advising me of this fact.
3. There are grown man sized scooters. And grown men actually own and ride them. I can't say that this discovery really added anything positive to my life.
4. Some children are born without the ability to chase seagulls/pigeons. This can be seen in their inability to chase the birds and growl at the same time, and in a general confusion as to why the running an growling is necessary in the first place.
5. In the city, a geometric shape filled with pebbles is called a 'garden.'
I hope that this list can be helpful to you in some way someday, even if it only to help you find a reliable Possum exterminator.
Little Duck, out.
