You may remember from my earlier story, the footy season has wrapped up (until the world cup). Obviously, this means no friday night footy - and having finished an assignment today, i was looking for a study break. So it was off for a evening walk, and a stop-off for supplies.
Homeward-bound, and a man sits reading in a car. I'm guessing he's lost. Few locals drive rent-a-cars, and leisure-readers rarely choose the refidex.
A tap on the window, some impromptu sign language for "would you like some help?", and i discover our friend is english and looking for Mt Cootha - or as he describes it "the big hill where you can see all of Brisbane". (insert accent from The Bill)
Fortunately for our new friend, i'm the kind of guy who knows his local map numbers, so we had him sorted out in about 30 seconds flat. My work here was done! (insert superhero-sounding voice)
--------
ps. it was a little bit chilly this evening, and i had been home all day. upon reflection, i wonder what this man thought... lost, in a foreign country, and an un-shaven beanie-wearing bloke knocks on his window. :) well he trusted me, and very much appreciated my help.
