Bemused

The Wizard does not often come across a problem which cant be fixed by a flick through the spell book or a stir of the cauldron. However recently i have experienced something so dumbfounding I'm left with little recourse but to turn to the mortal masses for answers.

It all started about 3 weeks into semester just before noon i was riding the broomstick to my first class of the day. I turned off Vincent st heading south along Loftus st, As soon as i passed through the first intersection, my nose twitched and i was hit by the unmistakable odour of toast left in the toaster too long. I thought it was odd because this area is not residential but didnt think much further into it.

Next Tuesday at the same time i sniffed it again and for the next 3 tuesdays just before noon the same. I did not yet become completely perplexed until it was no longer on Tuesdays that the oduor lingered, the smell was becoming more frequent.

Now almost every day when i drive down Loftus st between Vincent st and Railway prde and between the hours of 11 to 3. There it is, hanging over my head like a bad smell. To be honest i havnt gone to any great lengths to solve this mystery i asked ricca, joe, mum, dad and rebecca. None of them knew nor cared. So I implore you if any of you out there have any ideas please contact me via telepathy.

  2. I think that "Rob" may be on to something here Mr. Wizzard. However i too have a theory. The big chimney looking thing at Princess Margaret Hospital is actually an incinerator. So the stnech you may be copping, could in fact be the smell of little children who are too sick and not worth saving!
