Way out west. Where appropriate behaviours don't grow....
Ahh, Kingswood - how I love thee!
This weeks joyful story from Kingswood, again, takes place very near to where our friend on the bicycle, with his case of VB was cycling by last week. The Great Western Highway - now days, it isn't the key route out beyond Penrith or beyond to the Mountains. However, it still gets a good volume of traffic. Powerwalking back from campus to the Station, I'm ipodless due to my brain not remembering to charge it up. So I;m just walking to the beat of whatever song I'm singing out of tune, in my head. And being the observant type that I like to think I am, I observe things. Things that I wish I didn't have to observe. Time was 12.45pm. Middle of the day, broad daylight, in an area well know for pedestrian traffic due to the uni 15 minutes walk away, and this being the main walking route. Thought I heard someone watering the gardens, a normal occurence. Once upon a time, non Australians please note - as we're drought stricken, there are water restrictions limiting both the days you may water your garden, and also the times. It has to be after 4pm I think - later afternoon either way - after the heat of the day has mostly passed to maximise water usuage.
How irresponsible, you know being the grown up with grown up thoughts that I keep having. Frankly, a few of the gardens around here don't need watering. Weeds grow regardless.
Then I realised..oh yes, why of course you can water any time of the day with that sort of HOSE.
Yes, a guy, not that much older than myself, was watering the garden with his 'own' personal hose. 12:45pm, watering a garden along side the highway. There was a bit of tree coverage, I mean, the non highway / footpath / main thouroughfare side of the appartment building may have been more appropriate peeing location, but no, nothing like a good public pee for the exhibitionists.
Repeat after me: I LOVE KINGSWOOD. Hmm, that could be a uni student t-shirt design I may just need to work on. Better than the rubbish UWS hoodies...
Does urine works as well as the more plain sort of water that comes out of the garden hose or tap?
