Befriended some local lads when they came to join in my sprinting session in the park today. Told the one who lasted a whole rep he should be a 100m runner and he said alright. Tom (sibling 3 of 6; newest addition: a striking spiked mohican) gave me a guided tour of his art coursework (particularly impressive folder of gargoyles there) and how to fix a buggered amp; am now feeling both muchly awed and educated. We also discovered some kind of squeaky creatures in his oompa loompa cupboard (v small door leading into the wall of the house); maybe they are baby birds. Or narnia creatures, but now you’ll think I’m obsessed because I said that about the crumbly archway yesterday. But there is that bit where they crawl through the rafters and find the rings in the uncle’s room that take them to the land with the pools you know. Have always been tempted to try.
Dreamt about shipwrecks all last night; I wonder if that was an effect of the sea. And spent lots of day immersed in working out how dialogues and conversation shape identity; that’s dissertation but also life interest stuff there. And it links back to the sea again, but that's another story.
Also just received a ransom call for a koala so if anyone
has 500K they could lend me that would be helpful. I forget where he said to
leave it though… poor koala. Oh well there are more of them aren’t there.
Do
you ever have moments where it feels impossible to take the time to
know the people you have already met, let alone the bigger part of the
six billion you haven't? When i feel like this i go and fling myself
around on the trampoline for a bit and it feels a bit better.
