so today i was mostly walking, after spending to long indoors on yet another sunny day i headed out my only direction was the botanicle gardens which are only down the way i had planned on sitting in the sun and reading my book, the bill bryson australia book good read as it goes i thought he was going to be a pain in the arse, but he's a good and funny writer, so i decided against sitting in the park as i had just got my pace going so headed out in the direction of the river, now this is where i sat and read for a spell and watched the world go by, not that much did to be honest. so up and away in the direction of the skyscrapers which took slightly longer than i thought it would but these things often do don't they? but its a good walk to make plenty to see and if the sun's out its a bonus (i haven't had a day without sun since i got here, apart from up on the mountain), i headed in the direction on swanston street which has sort of become my favorite place in melbourne good people watching positions available throughout the day and it catches the afternoon sun.

so book in one hand and a large smoothie in the other i got stuck into a decent bit of reading, in the background there was a guy with a mike saying for all his worth that there is a slight possibility that all religions may not actually be based on 100% fact? jesus may have very well been the serpent that gave eve the apple etc..... but he was an atheist! so yeah back onto me enjoying the sun, the book, the views & the smoothie then would you believe it i got shat on, (shat is northern for shitted on FYI) but what can you do, if there is any luck in being shat on my came in the fact it got me square in the centre of the back so my bag covered it, so on with my stroll, although the centre isn't deserted on a sunday it does have an easier flow to it less cars and trams so you don't have to wait half a year to cross a road.

not much else exciting happened today, except i think i'm leaving melbourne, i'm thinking of heading to adelaide where a guy i met is, a guy on a ride share site has a spare seat so it would mean going along the great ocean road which aparently is amazing, but thats a maybe at the moment, but to be honest i think it is going to happen.

alright time to wash my feet as they hum.

You didn’t specifiy what shat on you. I feel this detail could change the whole angle of your story. I imagine the culprit was proberly a bird but with out this information my ill informed imagination runs wild, do they have moneys in such warm climbs? Perhaps a antependia beast such as a Koala or a Possum did excrete on the hero or our tale and having never seen a Possum in the flesh to size the critter I fear the turd may have been of some size, a Possum pat? What if we assume the obvious and it was a simply bird faeces, then I ask- What kind of brid? True a British sparrow stool is noting to worry about but what about an albatross that has been feed on tourist tip-bits. I feel we have a right to this information. What if the defecator was merely a humming bird and I we have been duped in to pilling our sympathy on to an undeserving candidate.
