A lone journey.

Posted by Quirky | April 14, 2008 .

Today I ventured out on my own with Pesky being ill and Dina having other engagements. My company for the day was my trusty ipod filled with my favourite pod casts. A chance to listen to my favourite downloaded music.

I took the FCWC old route  to the Swan Street Bridge, watching the joggers in groups pass me on “the tan” around the Shrine and park lands of Melbourne. To those joggers it seemed to be a performance. In the FCWC we walk for ourselves and dress individually nor do we conform to any dress code or stereotype. Pesky’s trademark for example is always an old long sleeved work shirt setting him apart from most walkers.

Indeed while walking today I listened to the old track from an Australian group The Angels – “Will I ever see your face again”. I thought to myself that was apt as Pesky had not been on the track for sometime and may be many days until he next makes an appearance. I am sure Dina would have appreciated the coincidence and smiled.

Prior to leaving I received a telephone call from Pavarotti who also works with us. He was moaning about how much he had eaten on the weekend, feeling fat and of recent times had been scouring the stores for 5XL work shirts. I told him subtly, I had noticed that  he had gained weight and he needed exercise and diet management. I know that Pesky has been urging him to join the club and walk but he steadfastly refuses. It is very difficult and in later entries we will outline the methods adopted to convince fellow workers to join us on our journey.I am sure Pesky will elaborate on this in the future.

    Greetings Quirky!

    I’m pleased to see you have taken to the blog like a walker to the pavement. Keep it up!

    You will have noticed that I have interviewed the Fat C and posted some of his observations in the previous entry. I’m sure you will want to respond to his scurrilous suggestions about yourself and others, so let me know when you are available for a Skype interview and you can claim your right-of-reply.
