Laughing Strangers

1. Lady on Platform Number 9 who liked my retort to the station announcement.
2. Ukulele players on Baltic Street, Newtown who liked my timely bell ringing.
3. Lady on Sydney to Gong bike ride who enjoyed our banter about sausages.
4. Man on Sydney to Gong bike ride who found my enthusiasm amusing.
5. People in queue outside Belvoir St who appreciated my request for Ben to put on a one-man show.
6. Lovely Japanese chap who kindly pretended to be impressed with my broken Japanese.
7. Tam from 'Tasmania & Beyond' who liked my commentary on her products.
8. Guy at theatre selling ice-creams. I told him they were out of ice creams on the third floor and we exchanged banter about how that's all that old people can eat.
9. Different guy at theatre who saw me drinking a Lipton Ice Tea and told me I was only allowed to drink that if I did the dance. I obliged to the best of my ability (which is to say, badly).
