This afternoon I was relaxing on the balcony at the Blue Duck Café link watching the day end with its usual sunset sizzle. While I wrote, the loved-up couple on the next table were becoming more and more obsessed with something out to sea, no mean feat considering their earlier obsession with each other.

Finally giving in I looked up to see the Channel 7 television helicopter circling around and around the same spot.
My fellow balcony buddies soon joined forces to speculate what it might be tracking, the general consensus … a shark.

Returning to my writing I was unaware of the Chinese whisper permeating through the cafe.

To everyone going to the concert tonight I really hope it wasn’t her swimming at North Cott, especially not in a meat inspired bikini.
