Crossword

Today was a lovely day, sunny and warm, 25C. I know it is only early Australian spring but it was very much like summer. People had lunches in parks. You could see a lot of people dressed in t-shirts and generally wearing summer attire. Than we have this man, dressed as if it was middle of Siberian winter totally absorbed by trying to solve the crossword in the daily newspaper.

I have seen this man in few places around Sydney. He is trying to sell scoobies but I have to say I have never seen any one buying them yet.

What is a scoobie I hear you ask? Wikipedia defines it as: “Scoubidou (Scoubi, Scoobie, or Boondoggle in the USA Or as “gimp” in Canada.) is a plaiting and knotting craft, originally aimed at children, which originated in France, where it became a fad in the 1960s. It came back into fashion in various countries, including the United Kingdom, in 2004 and 2005. It uses commercially supplied plastic strips or tubes.”
