One of my regulars, a lady who comes over from Pakenham every day (a one and half hour journey) is grumbling that her daughter is insisting she accompanies her into South Yarra (another one and half hour journey.) “She’s going back to China next week and she wants a nice hair cut.”
Fascinating to learn that South Yarra is still the place for a trendy haircut. Equally fascinating to think such a haircut might impress the Chinese.
Meanwhile down the platform someone is singing in the Exoloo toilet. Everyone can hear it. Since it is all metal, the acoustics must be pretty good and someone has found them irresistible. Perhaps he is having a wash. Homeless people camping in the park regularly come in with a little bag of clean clothes and toiletries to perform their ablutions. They have to take less than 10 minutes though, because an alarm goes off and the door opens automatically after that.
