It’s Friday, 20th December, 2024.
I had finished work for the year. Lucky for me, I was working from home. I clocked off at 4:30pm, decompressed from the holiday work rush, and headed to the shops to do some christmas shopping.
An hour into my shop and walk-around, I see a figure sitting at a table in front of a Dymocks store. Upon walking closer, it turns out to be Dr Karl Kruszelnicki – a prominent media personality in science communication. He was around to sign his new memoir A Periodic Tale.
After a brief chat and a thank-you, I was on my way, cuddling what will be an interesting life for the ages.
