Swift reading of the telegraph means good news comes fast.

When a telegram arrived by a pill-box hatted messenger they waited for you to read it in case you wanted to send a reply.

There is a message in that.

If we can read it.

Several pieces of paper.

There were notes about dreams, travel, shopping and how to assemble a radio.

The beginning of a novel seemed to be revealed on a small scrap of paper.

An old wrapper and a lined page.

Some numbers were written without any description or explanation.

So it seems a blank page really does present a world of possibilities.

Or a note of tenderness, love and admiration.

Or…a reminder.

Let’s transcend recessions, forget timing and drive slowly when needed.

Driving fast in an expert way on an empty high-horizon-visibility road is quite OK.

Some would want that to be in an electric car. Well, we’ll see, yes maybe.

Let’s cook the best home made pasta – yes food, again.

Fusion is the word and it’s not a car.

Boiling point is pasta’s best friend.

Parallels, metaphors and similes – useful.

The sloping branch of a life and the flower of lifetimes.

A horizon fit for celestial kings, tax collectors and angels.

How we can put them all together is a mystery to most, an undiscovered secret to us and a gift to future generations – if only they realized.

Shabby chic and supremely restored, brand new and shiny.

That’s the way we like it, because it pleases those we like to please.
