Benny-boy wasn't in, so for some reason I wandered up to Dunc's floor- the 13th- to watch the sunset, which always looks magnificent, what with the mountains and the Kobe docks in the background.

So- I'm up on the 13th floor, having a`moment�foutside Dunc's apartment, watching the sun set on Japan, when- unbelievably- Dunc's door opens...

Naturally, I jump out of my skin at such a shock, as does the Japanese workman holding a toolbelt and drill, obviously having finished some maintenance work in Dunc�fs apartment.

I just fall about laughing, as does the workman, whose shock- at seeing a bleached-blonde 6' 4�hforeigner standing outside the door- must have rivalled mine!

What a coincidence to be outside Dunc�fs door at that particular moment! If that�fs not Dunc having a laugh at my expense then I don't know what is...

I�fd like to think so, anyway. Barnesy, ya bugger!
