Fred

I was driving into work this morning, traffic was slow for no apparent reason, but on the positive side the weather was fantastic. Sitting in traffic with the windows down, sunroof open, ahhh even in stop start traffic on the freeway it was pretty nice. I’m sort of in my own little world, listening to tunes, and then I notice a ladybug has joined me on my quest to work. He’s just sitting there relaxing on the car dash, I decide to call him Fred, Big Red Fred.

I spent the entire trip watching Fred. First he crawls to the right of the dash, and then to the left side, and then flies on to the windscreen and walks up it, then back down on to the dash and just chills there for a while. A bit later he decides to come back over to my side and sit directly in front of me looking at me, and then goes for another windscreen walk before finding a place to sit on the dash again.

Once we get into the inner city, he decides to check out the view, just buzzes over to the passenger doortrim, and sits on the top gazing out the window – just like a dog hanging it’s head out the window. But a bit further down little lonsdale he spots his destination, melbourne central. He jumps from the window and happily buzzed inside. He didn’t mention what he was doing, but my guess is shopping at general pants and then grabbing some starbucks.
