tales from an ordinary world

2000-05-25

On the way to work, Droo told me a friend of his at the Bureau of Meteorology reckons tomorrow'll be a really weird weather day. Maybe it'll even snow in Melbourne town, as it does once a decade or so.

I remember it happening once before, while I waited for the school bus one morning. The other kids were busy talking about...the kind of stuff schoolkids talk about in the morning - odd varieties of nothing at all...My head was in the clouds, and all of a sudden it started snowing. Everybody was silent.
