Let’s take those charts, shove them into an envelope with a gilded card and divide by the average speed of a corgi on a weekend all-vegetable retreat.

This formula would answer any question ever asked and because of it’s quaver-like stance, will likely answer any question that could ever be asked.

So we’re talking about the answers to questions about things, about ideas, about concepts, that have yet to be imagined or conceived.

Time for relaxed and devotedly concentrated contemplation.

Or, at least, a good bedtime story.

I started singing.

The audience rose to their feet.

The sounds of screaming, cheering, crying fans were music to my ears….get it!?

Sure enough, I was offered many “contracts”.

Not sure whether the audience was full of hit men or record executives.

Someone told me rather unkindly, that they were the same thing.

I had ice cream. A banana. A coffee and a toffee.

What a stroke of luck.

They gave us a free card. Well, it must be free as they didn’t charge anything.

Not so fast. The costs started from the moment we dialed the phone number.

We should have known as “1 800 I EAT YOU” sounds a bit, well, dodgy.

There is a difference between a gift horse (never look it in the mouth) and a Trojan Horse (never let it in).

So now we know.

Strange how “Know” is “Now” with a K in front….

Not too concerned that I may have skipped a number, providing no two are the same, the total is the least important piece of information.

It was the pleasure of doing, the long haul, and the continuing delight of adding more to the treasure trove of work.

That’s the reward of making things.

The building appeared made of garden shed materials. Block board, particle board, too many nails and some hastily stuffed insulation.

Even so, it took over a year to complete.

Construction of houses in the western United States was not technologically advanced…still isn’t.

Laborious and repetitive tasks were and are the rule.

Nothing pre-formed and generally, well, nothing but lavish garden sheds too close to each other and selling for insane – what poor value – prices.

At least there is room for improvement!
