All my visitors bring me joy. Some by coming, some by going.

I like working alone. It gives me plenty valuable thinking time. Quite amazing though how you can fall out so easily, with yourself, by yourself, and without any apparent reason.

The open doors event Spring Fling is totally different from the usual. How exhausting it is talking to people all day! I collapsed in a blank heap at the end if the day, struggling even with simplest of questions like “Would you like a cup of tea?” Er…um…what? Anyway, the general opinion of the visitors was that Spring Fling was a very enjoyable experience which I thought too. You really don’t get unpleasant people visiting – odd ones yes. What they all have in common is interest in art and surely that kind of people are all very, very nice…

In my next life I’d like to be our cat.

The only thing our cat really complains about  is the food. The cook isn’t up to scratch. (sniff sniff)… A fresh packet! …oh no, it’s that stuff again… and she walks off. Otherwise life is a piece of cake. You sleep all day and most of the night, no need to catch your food, really. Hunting is just for sport and entertainment. Actually, I’d like to be a dancer in my next life. I like any kind of dancing – except line dancing and the Birdie song stuff. Also, I’d like to sing and play at least one instrument properly. And I’d like to be beautiful, rich and live somewhere warm. Surely not too much to ask. For all my sins in this life I’d probably come back as a one legged cook somewhere north of the Arctic Circle.

What if there is a parallel world…

How do you get deja-vus when you know you haven’t been there/done that before? There are still so many unexplained things in the world. You shouldn’t dismiss anything just because nobody has come up with an explanation. Interesting to think that somewhere in the universe there could be a world where different laws of physics apply, like to time and gravity. You might be able to go forwards or backwards in time. Time could stand still, move sideways, run parallel. How handy would it be if you could carry on working and step into parallel existence and do the shopping and cooking at the same time. The tax inspector’s visiting…” Oh sorry I was in tomorrow…” or “I got stuck in the past…”

(I would have used the “in-laws” joke there instead of tax inspector, but I actually really like my in-laws.)
