Boss Radio

Today I actually experienced the phenomena of sound being carried by the wind. Previously I've heard parties and late night gigs wafting in and out as the breeze speang up and down, but today I was on my way to the news rack and a freezing wind was billowing down from the Actic.

And I heard a woman speaking behind me.

I glanced over my shoulder just to make sure I hadn't missed something. I hadn't passed anyone of the fairer sex so who was this person? There was no one there. I walked on a few yards and she spoke again.

This time, at the risk of seeming rude, I stopped and turned around. There was no one there, not in any gardens, not on the road, not even sitting in a car. Mystified I turned back and took a few more steps, and then I saw her. She was standing talking to a friend between two parked cars about 10 yards in front of me, yet even though I could now see her speaking my brain had difficulty in linking the sounds, which were quite distinctly coming from behind me, to the movement of her lips.

It was the same kind of confusion that I felt the first time I saw the roads illuminated by yellow light and nothing was the colour I knew it to be.

My brain hurts...
