Blocks on the harbour
Saturday, 11 October, 2003
We had fish and chips by the beach today and walked around Wollongong Harbour. I've finally worked out how to use the timer on our digital camera. I took this picture as Ben happened to be walking by in the background.
It was sunny but cold with a very bracing southerly rushing through. A wedding party, thinking of taking photos near the harbour, changed their minds when they felt the chill. We accidentally interrupted a low-budget film shoot as we walked along—one car with a cameraman in the front seat, the other with a guy holding a gun out the window. Afterwards Ben showed me where he's been getting his cheap CDs and bought me a $15 copy of the soundtrack to Amadeus for Christmas along with a stack of singles. We had vague thoughts of replacing our microwave but everything was closing up, even though it was only 4 o'clock. Ah Wollongong ...

The beach looks a bit Stalinist with those blocks in the background!
Are you wearing a beret?
Yes, yes I am! I normally lose one of them every winter but this year I’ve managed to keep a hold of it.
Yes, yes, you are Stalin?
I don’t know if Stalin ever wore a beret.
Don’t be silly, Philip. Go watch Children of the Revolution.
Sooooo Sorry, it was a complete misunderstanding, trust me! I saw the “looks a bit Stalinist” then you said “Yes, yes I am!” and my mind ignored the beret as thats just so, you; anyway. Whats wrong with a little Stalinist anyway, ask any Russian if they liked the Bolsheviks…
