Dr Gary Wood was an eccentric character and the ice was immediately broken
when he strolled up to the girls sipping ginger wine to sooth his chesty cough
which he had inconveniently acquired the night before the girls were to meet
him.
Gary had a comforting smell; it seemed like a mixture of patchouli and lavender
oil and he was full of funny stories such as staying up for three days straight
drinking only coffee whilst studying for his PhD.
When speaking to Gary about stress relief, Rhianne found that he made very
similar arguments to Klaus, such as happiness being about social interactions
and how we perceive ourselves in the world around us, and in the girls opinion,
this made for the most convincing way of explaining what happiness is and how
we can seek it.
Gary made both the girls feel very contented and it really tickled the girls to see
how flocks of Canadian geese started to surround them during their
conversation, which terrified Gary. The geese just seemed to love being on
camera.
Ironically, it was harder for the girls to find the park in which they met Gary,
which was only a bus journey away, than it was to travel across Berlin and
make multiple crossovers. It was at this point they realised that navigation was
definitely not their forte.
