As our holiday draws to an end we had a wonderful evening
looking down from Mt Ainslie on the lights of the city of Canberra with our two
friends. He is a naval architect, designing vessels with beautiful clean lines.
It made me think that Canberra’s parliamentary district is like a ship, laid
out perfectly symmetrically.
And taking the analogy further that’s just like our holiday, as near the start we had looked down on the lights of the city of Adelaide, again with two other friends there – Sue and Billy. I like spotting patterns. And you could even say that the two weeks in NZ South Island before then were like the bow of the ship protruding from the front, beautiful and pointy.
Except it falls a part a bit as Adelaide is not the capital
city and Billy was a dog But if you ignore that then the pattern is clear, sort
of. That really shows why I am not a naval architect, as I keep changing my mind somy ships would have
sticky-out pieces bolted on at the end that I had forgotten to design in from
the start. No, my talents clearly lie elsewhere and I will keep travelling
until I find them.
