The bogey-man is coming, the bogey-man is coming — or someone nearly as bad… Today was the day that the real-estate agents were performing an inspection. Would they complain that the front room resembled a bicycle repair workshop? Would they notice that the bathroom wall can’t be cleaned because the grouting is so badly done that it falls apart when you wash it? A total non-event. He rang the bell, he walked in, said a brief hello, glanced into kitchen and lounge, and left without even looking in either bedroom or bathroom. Total time of inspection — approximately 35 seconds!
Strange sight on a blackboard menu in South Melbourne today — “Café Late.” They’d taken the time to put the accent on the e, but couldn’t spell latte… Oh well, five minutes later I saw a SNITZEL being advertised…
