The Glen Waverley line was “suspended until further notice” today because there was an accident somewhere at Glen Iris. So we (BRuCE, Fel and Nat) took a much more cooler route.
We took the Blackburn, disembarking at Camberwell to take the Alamein and got off at Ashburton where we took a bus to Glen Waverley.
That meant nothing to anyone, did it.
When we were at Ashburton, we were waiting for a bus to come. I took out my Jila mints from my jacket pocket, only to have 4 of them spill out onto the ground. Needless to say I was traumatized.
Nat picked one up, and after lengthy discussion, decided not to eat it, and threw it out onto the road.
We tracked the little white mint, rolling away.
And then it started rolling back towards us, being on a slant.
At the nearby lights, the traffic started coming closer.
“It’s gonna crush the mint!”
We watched as the cars came even closer.
We watched as the mint rolled steadily towards the gutter.
The car was 10 meters away.
The mint is going to be crushed.
It’s coming.
It’s coming (oh shut up)…!
IT MISSED!
THE MINT ROLLED CLEAR OF THE CAR BY ABOUT 20 CMS! THE CAR MISSED THE MINT!
We all shouted in disappointment.
Carmaine shook her head a little, and told me I can blog about this, it being such an exciting event.
So I did.
Alex.
