Cenotaph

The Boss was keen to try out a few fancy features of his Olympus camera so after grub he loaded me in Suzz and we went of searching for light. This is easy when it’s dark ‘Cos you sorta see it easily….Right?
There is a hi spot in our town so we went there and the lovers on the view seat were not pleased to see us and left when The Boss started setting up his tripod and checking his exposure.
The dark proved not quite dark enough so he shot an email to the sky bloke to turn the wick down faster ‘Cos it was cooling and he was, as usual, under dressed. I was of course totally curl comfy in the bark.
We were waiting to see what we couldn’t see…Is that clear? when a carload of younger blokes turned up and practised maturity with odd smelling  ciggies and tinnies. They looked like they were in for the long draw, so The Boss decided to quit while he was ahead and as this view was behind us decided to grab and go. asyoudo.
There was a wonderful serenity which seemed right with lovers but at odds with drugs and booze.
The Flag of course is our New Zealand one which, as it was hanging, could have been an Ausi one and no one would have been able to tell. This is the subject of much discussion here as there is a proposal to change it which will be played out over some time into the future.
I wondered what the young smoky blokes would have thought about that?
