This morning I went for a long walk from Brighton to Elwood, headed into the Elwood Village and had a lovely breakfast of porridge at The Turtle Cafe.
I didn’t listen to anything during my walk, just with my thoughts and decided that on the way back, I’ll listen to what people were saying as they passed me by along the stretch of road above….
I wondered what people talk about and realised, on the whole, they’re talking about other people.
Here’s their conversation.
… This grant I’m going to apply for is another version….
….Did you see Brendan?…
…I didn’t get time to do it in the morning….
…Yeah, nah….
…I just don’t like him…
…Under no circumstances can we do that, so I asked him so what, what can we do?…
…They had their identity stolen…
…I applied for jobs exclusively for half an hour and…
…What else starts with h?…
…What do you mean? Hold on…
…All of their money. Gone….
…How does that happen….
…Next they’re going to marry! (incredulously)...
…Well, like, I’m basically back at…
…And they’ll do it for you…
…I’ve been taking steroids…Saturday as well.
…Come come come come come (dog follows)
She’s got an exceptional eye…
…Yeah yeah so then he told….
…You’re too young to make your own decisions so the parents….
And this….
…Bored…
…Five years. I don’t know whether it was…
…Let’s have a picnic at Hanging Rock. I’ve never been to Hanging Rock.
…Three seconds. One….
…It’s just this one part of it…
…She was obsessed. Well this one time….
…Things like that decision to make….
…He said the most we can give you…
…Shall we go in?…
…Stay out of the puddle little man…
…Don’t go…
…Because I’m SO on…
…I reckon.. I don’t know. I’ve seen him once before when he came over that time. A sleepover? Yeah. I just don’t know….
…I think it looked fantastic…
Kookaburras cackling
…They looked like that….
…It’s the same role. 100% the same…
…No particular side effects….
…Yeah and then people….
Seagulls squawking.
Someone desperately tries to light his cigarette in the wind to no avail. He gives up. Faces the wind with cigarette hanging from his mouth.
…Maybe that’s what I should do on Saturday. Meet you guys and go for that walk? …
…Mental health is going to be like….
Russian.
Dogs barking.
…Drama. Drama….
…I don’t know. I hide then I move….
…Yeah..
…I can’t get this on. Grunt.
