THINGS TO DO ON YOUR OWN FOR AMUSEMENT*

 * Not that!


Richard of RBB, if he survives today's Tawa library gig and isn't mauled to death by screaming fans is off tomorrow to Foxton.




Foxton where, unlike Holland there are more dykes than windmills.

You'd think that an old guy getting a trip away from Waiunuiomata would be pleased to spend Sunday night in Foxton but, oh no, (think of my phone's ring-tone here) he disparages it:


Well, I don't know what he thought he'd be doing back in Wainui with the other martians on a Sunday night: Going to the opera? Playing on the dodgems and the Ferris wheel at the amusement park? Dining out in a fancy restaurant? Night cruising on the river? Sheesh!

If you ask me, at his age and disposition a Sunday night in Foxton should seem like Robert's heaven. 

.


Things that he could do are:







Or, if that's a bit much for him he could visit the windmill, climb the water tower, go to the museum (closed but he could peek through the windows - Robert can give him some instruction on this) and cruise the main drag. 



The possibilities are endless really. If these might over-excite him there are always the tried and true night in games like solo chess, patience, staring at the wall, watching television etc. but personally I'd just suggest drinking.
