We’re so glad to see you happy, that smile is a giveaway.

Is it the tight trousers, the cheeky grin or the sparkling eye contact?

Are we incorrect from birth or have we become so?

Are we present now and not waiting for tomorrow?

Fancy a hot chocolate or something weaker?

What is that plant you’re growing?

Why do you drive such a wonderful-looking car?

Is it electric or hydrogen powered?

Are you?

Say it to nobody. Get the message across silently.

Which car charges this way.

In “terraced” houses in London, often divided into several apartments, a brace of electric cars has difficulty finding a way of charging at home.

The arguments, whenever convincing, need examining for every opportunity to see the opposite.

This is not universal disbelief. It is regular questioning, examination and appraisal.

The ability to do this is of paramount importance.

Take the course!

Sometimes it’s best to do the real thing rather than test.

That’s what this is.

Hope you like it or can grin and bare it!

It’s most useful to me.

Thanks for your patience.

Fog so thick we could make up the scenery we couldn’t see.

Appealing in a way, what was there a day ago was forgotten while we created a new and mysterious view.

We were in the mountains, or in a valley surrounded by them.

We were on a river bank watching silvery fish leap in the air trying to be noticed.

We were on the edge of a strangely forbidding forest. The forbidden forest.

We were on a tiny island, ten steps to the sea and nowhere without a sea view.

We were surprised by the sudden crack of realization that we never created a city view.

Shame.

A club I should belong to.

Where is it?

What would it be for?

Why?

There are moments when the idea of a protective faux-womb of supportive co-members seems tempting.

Until…the invite comes.

Then we realize we are party to a universal membership. A much better thing.
