I then went to the Southgate arcade where there is a wide range of dishes to choose from. As I was browsing at the
differing eating places to see what they have on special and what are their prices on that date.
I kept going on till suddenly there was this voice calling sixty one thousand (61,446) kilometres, I heard that but didn’t realise it was for me, till suddenly John called out to me how the hell he is interested in me and knew about the 61446 kilometres I had on my metre.
It took me a while till I realised that we met last week in the Bourke Street Mall, where he saw the distance when I
showed it to him and finally I began to picture who it was. Hey you, I looked back and there it was there was John who I met last Thursday 9th June 2005. John Vaccaro who I met in the Bourke Street Mall a few days ago, when he described his holiday from Perth to see his
daughter Amanda Vaccaro who lives in North Melbourne.
Johns other daughter who is still living in Perth is quite interested in moving to Melbourne to get into the art work here as there are more vacancies and the areas of interest are broader.
John and his daughters and their friend all showed a lot of interest in the photos I showed them, and they put a good remark on the photo that was being sorted out to see which ones were the best. Johns daughter who lives in Perth showed an enormous amount of interest in those photos and made added remarks on the differing kinds of Photography and the benefits they all have as part of their intake, which makes things more interesting and worthy.
We shared our interests with each other and to our amazement we all covered a much broader range of interest than what has been found in other groups.
John mentioned that he will be going home (Friday 17th June 2005) and they showed a lot of interest in all kinds of other subjects I would mention. This proves the wonderful deeds that can arise like this one today Monday 13th June 2005. and it certainly was a sad tine when we had to separate from each other unless meeting someplace else.
I got my bicycle and then went for a ride and being ready to take photos, as I love Photography and the other interests that relate to Photography are included in my website which is called PhotoTravelCycling (PTC).
I finally made tracks to my digs and when I got home I did the usual chores and then went to use my internet to see if there are any messages and when all was done, I was looking forward to going to bed with good feelings for a wonderful night and maybe a story.
Today is Wednesday 15th June 2005;
I went to Melbourne to do a few things and then have something to eat before heading back.
I had my usual lunch in one of the arcades and to my surprise I was just finishing my lunch and as soon as I was about to go from my table I looked ahead and to my surprise I saw John for the third time in less than a week.
I called out to John who also was surprised that we meet a third time in less than a week, and then we went to the Bourke Street Mall where we met last Thursday (9th June 2005).
We sat down and talked about the usuals till John mentioned his daughter from Perth’s impressions of my photography and the way she was pointing out that from her experience she would much rather have my photos as post cards instead of the usual ones, as she said they were more personal rather than manufactured cards.
John was expecting his young daughter to meet him in Bourke Street but doesn’t know where then suddenly Johns daughter rang up to tell John she won’t be able to make it to town, as she was caught up at the Southgate shops which she was studying their fashions, and art products which would make it impossible for her to be able to meet so they called off the meeting and then John and I went to have a drink for a little while and then go for a walk along the Yarra River.
Whilst walking I described the numerous landmarks along the River and told John of the bicycle rides I go on through these parts of the Yarra which is a focal point for all parts of Melbourne for cyclists to get from Northern suburbs to those on the Southern side of the River.
As it was beginning to get dark and the sun had nearly gone we then decided to say good-bye again for the third time in less than a week.
Then John was going to Amanda’s address in North Melbourne where he was staying till Friday 17th June 2006 when he was due to return home that afternoon. Before we finally said good-bye I asked John about the likelihood to be able to meet on Friday, at whatever time suits John best; he said 11.39 am would be the best as it would give him a little while longer to chat.
