When this guy pulled up alongside us when I was rescuing Diane from work yesterday I thought, well, who has he/she come for? Then I wondered, if he/she is really going to come for either of us will he be riding a... trike, not even a real bike... well who knows, the book thief has many guises but I guess if you were cycling along, getting ready to go home after a long day, would this be something/one you would like to see? It has been gay pride weekend so it takes all sorts, I guess - maybe he or she thought it being a masquerade allowed him or her some anonymity. Then again, I thought pride was about being unmasked which frankly no one ever cares about in Brighton, so maybe the mask is, indeed, something radical - hmmm... perhaps there is a story in this somewhere. Now for something better, I found myself listening to this yesterday while tidying up my study, I have been doing a lot of tidying up this week, its amazing how much paper and general rubbish you can accumulate - I seem to be incapable of chucking out cardboard boxes and padded envelopes - my new thought is to clear up daily, though I might be standing in mid air:
