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.

Yes and no. But there must be something else.

A biscuit, called a “cookie” in America, could take the edge off.

We are not sure what the edge is that should be taken off.

Instead we’d rather be traveling to interesting, but not too interesting, places.

Possibilities may be opened up we think, by using “maybe” as a temporary crux.

Still being formulated, brewed and reveiwed.

Standing and sitting in a warm forest of advertising we never noticed.

How often are we persuaded or at least nudged into quick, subtle and soon-forgotten decisions…

These are not serious things. At least not exclusively.

Perhaps the brighter red or duller yellow paintwork choices on the new SuperPanther GTX hybrid SUV.

Yes, a car.

Or a guitar. Stratocaster – we go in determined to find one, and, we come out with the latest Bahuli.

Yes the tone is good but it’s not a ‘Strat’.

What made us change our mind, the subtlest of hints, not data, the low unbuttoned shirt on the salesman’s chest, the thigh on that women…both exposed to our influenceable decision-making front.

And who knows what else!

Progressive toasting and the best marmalade.

That orangey tang with a hint of bitter-sweet intro.

Such preambles to dining are welcome.

We remember them whilst sitting on stone terraces with magnificent views.

Beautiful lakes, only one man made lake is beautiful, are best.

Now we can tempt you with a crispy salmon pancake followed by fresh passionfruit with a drizzle of fig-sweetened lemon juice.

And we will think of more.
