The Afternoon...

good morning!

on saturday afternoon..

after 'the lunch',

which finished at nearly three...

we crossed the road

and headed for the beach.

noosa beach

is a beautifully calm sheltered beach,

great for swimming

or walking along.

mr w and i

strolled and sat

and talked.

this is some of what we saw...



oh..

and by the way,

we had an encounter

of the famous kind!

we were sitting at a table in the food court

about half an hour before we were due to go to 'the lunch'...

mr w needed a drink..coke zero...not rum and coke...

&

mr kevin rudd

{australia's current foreign minister

& ex prime minister}

just appeared in front of us,

walking through with two of his kids.

i looked up

saw him and my eyes just locked with his for a second

while i recognised who he was...

then he lifted his hand and gave a bit of  a wave

and said 'hi, how are you?'

we just nodded

and he walked past

as another table crowded with youths

yelled out to him..'hello, mr rudd'.

he looked healthy and his white hair shone,

he wore his customary blue shirt and cream chinos...

he was taller than i had expected

and had more of a presence about him

than i thought he would have.

in fact

he looked just as though

he had stepped out of my tv

into my real life...

then back out again..lol!

isn't life

serendipitous???
