HOME !

Well, kind of, Darwin anyway, but it sure feels like home to us. Big beautiful friendly flat accents all over the shop, Portuguese cab driver, American transit cop, Kiwis, black and white fellas of every shade.

It feels cosmopolitan and relaxed and we are breathing it in in big delicious gulps.

Here’s my lovely one catching up on the goss, at the Cav on Cavanaugh St.

Home at last.

Bali already seems like a dissociative dream, a beautiful fable someone had whispered, a series of lovely images seen through gauze.  Had we really seen Jesus and Micky just yesterday ?

So it seems.

Had lovely Matriarchs steeped out of creeks cascading through luscious paddy fields and come towards us clutching coconuts ?

I guess they had.

Had girls with Gothic architecture tattooed onto the back of their legs strutted past us ?  Evidently so.

Stay tuned for our next last Bali adventure tentatively entitled “Ask not for whom the cock crows.”

    1. Shock alright. We’ve just been forcibly debussed at 2 am at Tennant Creek. Fortunately a nice warm roadhouse as opposed to the tea house of the seventh moon or whichever exotic place you and Mirek are gracing with your presence ? A capsule hotel ? A scented garden ?

Kristen and Billy sprang from the loins of 4 heroic ancestors. They roamed the Earth separately for an Age, playing the zither, predicting earthquakes, calling bingo games, eating sponge cakes, and watching old movies on tv. They were schooled by the Dominicans and the Christian Bros, what taught them their letters and scribbling skills. So, rudely equipped, and with a missal full of hymns in their hearts they stepped forth into the world. Kristen and Billy tried to keep the hippy flame alive as they strove and stumbled through work, like Kane from Kung-Fu crossed with Pollyanna, finding both good and evil in the hearts of men, ( but mainly good). They filled out time sheets and instead of villains punched the clock over and over again. Finally, the dark clouds parted, the sun shone through, they met each other, stopped punching and started living. Now they are two wide eyed, clickety hipped, post career dislocated hippies looking to get lost in a big wide world.
