no fun in caulfield
Posted in: General
Spent part of the weekend assisting a friend prepare to move house. Walked down to the local hardware store with my helper to buy a few necessities. Took an armload of old telephone books with us to throw in the ‘book muncher’. But there’s no book muncher. So back we go, lugging the books, laughing about how everyone should take out their books for a constitutional every now and then. We thought we were pretty funny. Almost home and we’re accosted by the woman next door. “What are you two laughing for? What’s that about?” Huh. The humour police. Apparently, there’s no funny stuff on the streets of Caulfield. More’s the pity.
The Book Muncher is no more. He has gone, his appetite sated. Phone books are (we Glen Eira residents are told) to be thrown in with the regular paper recycling. And all giggling is to be curtailed on Sundays west of Kambrook Road.
