Parasite for free

So you want to see “Parasite” (the movie) - well here in Westbourne, you can see this parasite for free. And it really is magnificent!

After coffee there, we headed to the bus-stop only to be confronted with a nasty incident. Missed the beginning, but a Deliveroo motorcyclist and an elderly, mentally unstable, gentleman were swearing at each other.

It seems the older fellow (OF) had thrown the Deliveroo guy’s (DG) mobile on the floor. No idea why. The OF wouldn’t stop hounding the DG. Even followed him into the shop he was collecting from. Eventually the DG got onto his bike to ride off. The OF tried to throw him off. At this point the DG whacked him a punch and the OF fell to the ground (I thought his end had come - eventually he revived!)

By this time a crowd had gathered. I called an ambulance - had to wait on the mobile for a while - and give updates on the victim’s condition etc. Subsequently several police cars arrived.

I had a video of the attack. The police have asked me to keep it, and say they will be in touch. A guy living opposite has a video too.

Difficult one. Both guilty, but not. The OF should not have been on the streets in the first place. The hot tempered DG should have restrained himself (he was going to leave the scene, but a member of the public advised him to stay).

Currently playing around with my newish VPN (Virtual Private Network). Can get RAI (Italian TV) free channels now. Will be glued to Telegiornale (Italian News Channel) updates on the Coronavirus - 66 cases there , +45 on yesterday. Devastating news and the tourist season approaching now.

Well on a lighter note, it’s Silly Saturday and here is my entry for Admirer. I believe it’s Mistletoe which is parasitic - although I read other air plants aren’t.
