...when you're crouching on a kerbstone waiting for a court ruling:
- scan passing traffic for creative/unusual names: Go-Whack Transport was a good one.
- try to avoid photographer D, who totally blew your cover yesterday by greeting you expansively in front of lots of people
- surreptitiously adjust the back of your jeans to make sure no offending skin (or worse) is showing
- remember that you probably shouldn't have worn jeans without a zambia (wraparound skirt) if you didn't want to offend past-middle-aged Shona
- sneak round the corner to peak in the secondhand furniture shop (OK, so this is a dodgy one but you might be getting quotes)
- think that the courthouse, with its sandy-yellow facade, clock (stopped) and fluttering palm trees would make a great postcard if it wasn't for the motorbike helmeted riot police pacing up and down in front of it.
- text the mayor. Maybe he knows what's going on
