.to cross the main 20 x lane road was done in 4 parts..in the heat, the next section more frustrating than the last, the traffic always wins..

.i pass an argentine couple, middle aged – over weight both decked out head to toe in Grimsby Town football kits – ?

.a man on his bike is hit side on by a fiat taxi. the bikes front wheel crushed under the taxi wheels, the man flies in through the air, bounces off the wing and lands on the road. he gets up almost immediately and walks off – shirt torn- pushing his bike with the destroyed wheel in the air- the taxi driver looks back – slows down a bit and accelerates off into the distance

.a half naked man lies flat on his back, at the bus stop – the buses come and go

.the rather posh looking 60 year old woman spouting a heavy neckless has in front of her a sort of dog which is about 3 inches tall, it attempts to bite every passer by, within distance. as she passes me it has go at my right foot. she smiles with great self pleasure as she did with the previous person that was ‘attacked’ !

. next door to my hotel room a drill starts, the crane outside starts a continuous warning sound,a police car goes by screaming by, a child below near the swimming pool bawls his or her head off and now as the noises start to fade with the evening light, church bells are well under way, my head sways to the sounds…………..
