ONE feral spotted down at the Park Centre today not long after noon.
I heard her before I saw her swearing blue murder at the top of her lungs. I was half-way across the carpark when I heard it. I turned around to see her screaming down the phone adjacent the taxi-rank next to Bains.
She yelled and she threw that phone and yelled some more. More ducks and shunts than I have heard in one sentence since high-school.
She was a vision in a short-skirted black dress with black wedges and a classy huge tat on her ankle (ran almost to her knee). Long permed dark coles-dyed burgundy hair.
I am thankful my son wasn't there or he would have a few new words in the vocab for sure.
I did feel for the two grannies sitting next to her waiting for a taxi. I can't imagine the taxi company would be rushing one there any time soon!
Ah there are always a few ferals to keep things interesting down at the Park Centre.

Things to love about east victoria park
1. The sound of police chases. These are very exciting and once we even have once chase a car down one of those footpaths that run between two houses. THAT little Subaru didnt last long. Ouch. These can be very social events. Once after a police chase went past our old house, we went outside and met all the neighbours who had come out too.
2. You cant get too attached to anything you leave outdoors. Someone stole the cushions off the park bench by my front door. Someone stole a trailer belonging to a trade-o doing some work on our roof. But my favourite is that someone dug up and stole one of the plants along our front picket fence. Yeah! You enjoy that plant. nutter.
3. If you dont have security, you need a box with a blue light that looks like you have. Even if the criminals know the difference, it makes you feel better.
4. The 'Summer Bay Nutter' doesn't seem as scary once you have seen some of the nutters walking the streets here. (Does anyone under the age of 30 know who the Summer Bay Nutter is?)
5. You get to know your neighbours well because everyone's kids play out the front, as no-one has backyards, thanks to rampant subdivision.
6. You can wear your pyjamas in public and really, no-one cares because there are so many nutters anyway.
I do love east vic park.
