I'm the only gay in Melbourne

Before I can write about our latest news I have to tell you about my strange early morning encounter with an Australian drag queen!!!! The last couple of nights we have been awoken by a noise that sounded like someone pacing up and down on metal steps. Last night I decided that I needed to investigate this noise further. Chris thought that it was coming from the flat along the way so I went to have a look……

At approximately 4am I went over to the apartment in question and popped my head around the balcony. This is where I met Australia’s answer to ‘David Thomas’- I’m the only gay in the village or in this case Melbourne!!!!!!! He promptly introduced himself as Taz or Tas (something like that). He then asked me if I liked his make up and proceeded to tell me that he is from Perth but is playing the clubs in Melbourne. At any other time, this conversation would have been at the least interesting, but at 4 in the morning I did not want to discuss make up tips with Dame Edna!!! However he continued to ask my opinion on his shoes and photos of himself in full drag. If Chris hadn’t have been awake as well, I would have thought this to be a strange dream brought on by too much Aussie wine!

Anyway when asked about the noise he put it down to workmen (they have been doing some construction work this week). It was only when he showed me his shoes bragging that they had six inch heels and he had been practising walking in them that the truth dawned on me. WE WERE BEEN WOKEN UP BY AN AUSTRALIAN DRAG QUEEN MASTERING THE ACT OF WALKING IN SIX INCH HEELS –IT COULD ONLY HAPPEN IN AUSTRALIA.

To end the story I told him that I believed his catwalk sessions were keeping us awake and would he mind practising at a more suitable time! Things went quiet after that, let’s hope that he doesn’t decide to rehearse his cabaret act tonight!!

Bye for now
Don
