A find.. 8:59AM
Arriving at the PNCC car park this morning in my usual pre midday, half asleep daze I was irritated to find I only had $1:40 in my pocket. Rummaging around the floor for forty cents to feed the PNCC car park pay and display machine, I saw a shiny object between the seat and the floor.
You know down the side between the seat and the door sill. Where you can see things lurking but can't quite get your hand into to retrieve them? That place where unwrapped sweets and small change sit amongst the carpet fluff.
So I struggle to retrieve it from the drivers seat, I contort myself to get my hand unstuck. But alas all I do is push it further under the seat into that waste land of half empty drink bottles and a mysteriously large number of unmatched bottle tops.
So I resort to the back door. Plunging my hand deep in the dark unseen depths under the seat I pull back a small compact silver object.
'Cool! A cell phone ' bet you some bodies missing this!' I excitedly exclaim.
'Oh, that will probably be Michael's. You better mail Kate and tell her..' Replies Rob, as he walks off.
