Well maybe it’s the time of year when the festivities send everybody a bit silly, but I have seen some rather hilarious sights around my little town in the past week. the merriment has certainly gone to people’s heads that is for sure.
I was driving up to a mini roundabout (one of MANY in our town!) when I saw hurtling along the pavement in what seemed to be a total panic, arms waving madly, look of sheer terror set on his face, was a man on a unicycle! Not everyday you see a unicycle used as a mode of transport, especially by somebody that looked like he’d never ridden one before! The poor bloke was going down hill rather fast and looked like he didn’t have the knack of steering that darn thing either. He stayed on but only just as he careered arpund the corner and shot up the kerb. Quite a sight I tell you. I think he must have had the unicycle as a Christmas present, maybe from the mother in law or unimpressed wife!
One of the other sights that I had to take a second look at, as I couldn’t quite believe my eyes, I was walking along the highstreet when I saw a chap pushing one of those shopping carts that old ladies have. Fair enough, except the guy (who had a full beard and was only in his late 30’s early 40’s) was wearing a fleece jumper and lovely yellow skirt with white trainers. I mean maybe there was an actual explanation for this and I’m not taking the mick, but again it was a very strange sight indeed! Although not as strange as the sight I saw a few years ago when sitting in the beer garden of a lovely rural pub. A guy rode by on a bicycle wearing a lovely yellow polka dot summer dress! Takes all sorts.
Until next time, take care.
