You shouldn't judge a book by its cover


So on a day off today and I spent most of it running errands and paying bills and getting a haircut and eating too much toffee-and-pecan cheesecake...

...so at about 1145 I was standing in a queue at my local supermarket having bought a weeks supply of skimmed milk and AllBran cereal when the customer in front of me started to unpack his basket...

Now I'm a big guy...125 kgs and 1,8m tall...
...he was probably 10cm taller and 10kgs heavier and was dressed like a lumberjack...
...which was odd given there are no forests around here...
...but you get the idea...olive-drab canvas bib-overalls with steel toe-cap boots...
...short grey hair...
...clean shaven...
...some sort of multi-tool clipped to the hip pocket of his overalls...

He seemed to be buying the ingredients for lunch...


A loaf of bread...
...some cans of tuna...
...fresh tomatoes and a tomato relish...
...a can of vegetable curry...
...a punnet of coleslaw...
...16 cans of cider...
...some oranges...

...and an Andre Rieu DVD...

...say what???

Lordy Lordy...

...the light-classical music fans are everywhere!!
