Rain, rain, rain rain, it hasn't stopped raining. Drip, drip, drip, drip, the water hasn't ceased dripping from the skies. Water falling, wetness covering everything, like dew. It is winter again. Cold and wet. Grey and cold. It was 39 degrees last week and sweltering hot and today it is drizzly, cold, windy, wintery wet. You know, I kind of like it. Cool and lovely. Pitter, pitter, pitter. The car wouldn't demist and we got rained on every time we got out of it, but it was nice. Patter, patter, patter. Jumpers and jackets.
But, having said all of that, who are the people who still deny climate change? I mean, I ask you? It's obvious, we can see the change. Our weather is now different, it has changed.
We walked around Chadstone. Speaking of climate change, we viewed the resources of the world being presented in every shape imaginable, in every variation, the full spectrum. We dropped down a level as soon as we got there and we seemed to walk around in one big slowly bending corridor arc, all in cream like one big nuclear fall out shelter, with retail, until we seemed to end up back in the same place that we started, seamlessly, mysteriously.
Amazing... really. It just kept going. Not stopping, never stopping.
People shop for entertainment now. People shop for socialising. People shop to keep out of the rain.
It rained all day. It rained on us as we dashed from the car park to the shops and it rained on us as we dashed from the shops back again.
We didn't buy anything, not even the pecan scroll, as I was told I was fat. "Fat fat fat!" Apparently.
We were looking for an iPhone case, the one with a pocket at the back. The online shop had them, but the Apple "temple" at Chadstone didn't stock them. Online shopping won again. Retail is second rate, even to the biggest and shiniest and the best. The fat chick in the blue genius shirt said, as if she had said it a thousand time,
"We don't stock all the products that the online store stocks." Smile. Like that was really good enough. That's all that needed to be said and we headed back home to our computers to buy.
