Today is Friday 15th June and it is now approaching 11.30 am; I am beginning to look around for John during which time
there were numerous groups getting ready to go to the football that day with others they will be meeting with.
I then looked towards the tram stops and to my amazement and there was John who was arriving right on time which is amazing in comparison to the usual person who always seems to be a bit late rather than on time.
We had a sit down in the Mall and talked about the happenings since Wednesday night when we were last together.
John was looking forward to
going back to Perth where he was living for a long while since he moved from Melbourne and also where in Perth John has a business as a plumber, which he finds quite busy most of the time.
At first I made sure of getting Johns address in Perth as it was felt that we both had grown on each other as close friends during the last week from when we first met just down that part of the Bourke Street Mall on last Thursday 9th June 2005l and in just over one week we became close friends therefore I asked for Johns address in Perth; John also gave the address and phone number of his daughter in North Melbourne also who I may get in contact with to ask about John.
Afterwards we went to have some lunch at a Chinese restaurant, which is quite reasonable and has good food from my experience. John had Lemon Chicken with Dim Sims and I had Curried Chicken & Rice. We went through the meal slowly and to our amazement there were other people coming in and going out much sooner than we did and that made us wonder as to how could they enjoy the meal when eating so fast.
When we finished our lunch we went to the terminal where the bus to Tullamarine was going to depart from; we spent a bit of time chatting on other matters that came to mind till suddenly there was a call for passengers going to Tullamarine Airport to get ready to bard the bus that is now approaching the terminal. We then said good-bye when John was boarding the bus whilst I went out of the terminal to go to my bicycle and go certain places before heading home in the latter part of the Afternoon.
At 5 pm I got home and did the usual things instead of as in Summer time I stay home for 1 hour and then by 6 pm I then head off for a ride going different places on each afternoon and then returning between 9 pm and 9.45 pm by which time it is ideal for the shower and evening snack before going to bed. Whereas in wintertime I get home and stay home at 5 pm till it gets to spring when the daylight will increase.
I then turned off and was missing John already, but as having his phone number it gave me the chance to ring him.
Today is Saturday 15th October 2005 in which instance I rang John up this evening during which time we came to a discussion of John asking me "Roy would you like to meet at the Queen Victoria Market tomorrow (Sunday 16th October 2005) I said I’d love to and to my amazement I was wondering how is John going to be in Melbourne so soon when he has 4 hours to travel from Perth to Melbourne.
Today was Sunday 16th October 2005 and I got to McDonalds where we agreed to meet; then suddenly John Amanda and her
partner showed up and then we said hello to each other, then Amanda’s partner asked, "what would you like for breakfast Roy? And he also said that they would be paying.
We had a wonderful breakfast during which time John asked did you know that I was speaking to you from Amanda house last night and I said no, then I said to John that for what he did I will call him Bad John which he didn’t mind as he knew I was joking. I said to them that I thought John was in Perth as every time when we’ve had a chat John has been in Perth, therefore I didn’t think about John being able to take his mobile anywhere and now I have learnt something.
When everyone was finished we said go-bye to one another and I thanked Amanda’s partner for the breakfast her partner provided mewith and I said I’d keep in line with you on the phone during which times we can learn from each other over the phone.
Today is Wednesday the 28th December when I rang John to wish him a happy Christmas and asked him to pass on my regards to the other family members. Whilst we were talking John mentioned that Amanda and her partner were in Perth at this time whilst we were talking on the phone, and they send you their regards Roy. Then we said good0bye and went back to our chore from before.
John and I keep in line with each other constantly which shows the closeness you can gain from the meeting of people which can make things more worthy wholeheartedly
