“24The following month, I go out rollerblading at St Kilda beach with Adam, Josh, Eileen and Simone on Saturday. It’s October and the weather has warmed up and we can do more outdoor things together. My dad has agreed to drop me off in front of Luna Park. It takes him the entire stretch of Punt Road to get through his Golden Rules of Visiting St Kilda.First he warns me not to use the toilets in McDonald’s. Then it’s about touching syringes, which he must think is my weekend pastime. Then it’s dr...inking anything but bottled water, avoiding waiting for my friends on any street corner or kerbs, and making sure we comply with pedestrian footpath etiquette and rollerblade to the right. There’s a little bit about talking to strangers, checking for foreign objects if we decide to sit in the sand, and dogs dribbling saliva on us. By the time we reach Luna Park I’m begging him to relax. So he gives me a harassed sigh and I cop the Who’s-been-living-longer? lecture.When I join the others the first thing we do is argue about who’s going to win the World Cup soccer over coffee and chocolate éclairs at a cake shop on Acland Street.MoreLess Read More Read Less
