And How

August 16th

"Every time I go around, it's like a new world!"
This from the drunk ocker as he makes the rounds chatting up all the tables, circulating like the host of a party.

Gil and his friend Mohammed came to pick me up this afternoon and with Sipola, have been showing me the Brisbane sights. [Note: This does not take particularly long.] At Kangaroo Point, I cause Mohammed to squeal and hop backwards over the railing: he's terrified of heights and I'm standing too close to the edge.

The boys drop me back at the house later that evening and invite themselves in for tea.

"I think it's very cute that you've been adopted by two large black men in a matter of days," says Sally upon my return.

The boys also like this.
Me?
Everything is just great.
