I laid in the heather on the old battlefield and my face acted, by doing nothing, as the landing platform for a dragonfly, and a few other buzzing things that approached from a variety of imagined distances and directions. I felt more useful than I have for quite a while. Then, later, I sat on the fallen tree... climbing upon it there is one bough which affords a relaxed position with a view of the Trossachs and the Carse; but the tree winds further into a thickly forrested area, in which pheasants scuttle and other birds on high branches coo mysteriously. I used to dream that owls lived here. Living in a constant ellipse says Jason do I still belong to sinester??? says Jason departure of the geezer, Peter Miller says the pinefox Or maybe they just appreciated our jiggling breasts. says girls bowling in Colorado One suspects that all these statements are connected somehow but not, as yet, sure exactly why. We do live in interesting times. What will happen next? Share prices plummet. I can't help but have a morbid fascination for all the drama. Elliptical breast juggling, Ken: get a grip on that! :) And where's a Monty Python video when you want one? I make do with old articles in *Punch* magazine compendiums by the likes of Miles Kington and Alan Coren and, of course, reading your posts. which reminds me: corin and i played with diamonds says Kirsten. Top lass, that girl, I reckon. 'Suppose Corin and the diamonds are sparkly too, if they're like their friend:) I'm running out of saying things, and fifteen minutes are.. up Just imagine all those fascinating gaps and silences! After all: your imagination is better than mine... Just one thing... I used to have large church candles on the mantlepiece, placed symmetrically over the architectural feature. Over a year, this symmetry dissembled, for although the room was nearly exactly square, and the candles placed equally either side of one of its faces, the patterns of soot veered to the right. In stasis, there was an equality but, over time, the draughts from the window to the left cast a different life on the design: changed the design. I just wanted to share the idea... I don't mean to proseltise. After all; such efforts would be useless, since we all worship Spike Milligan [or whoever]:) Gordon +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
