Random
As I'm having a little break from tomorrow, some random things:
* When I see people walking along with selfie-sticks, I imagine it as a kind of strut which is required to separate that person even by a few feet from the magnetic attraction of their phone and their own image. Just think if Narcissus had one, he could have prised himself free and overcome his Nemesis.
* It is a true sign of spring when you go out in the early evening and see the horses flying home for summer.
* E created a song: "Pa-pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa-pa-pa! Pa pa pa pa pa Pa pa-pa-pa pa pa pa-pa pa-pa pa-pa-pa! Pa-pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa-pa-pa! Pa pa pa pa pa Pa pa-pa-pa pa pa pa-pa pa-pa pa-pa-pa! CHIPSHOP!"
* The watch market really is pathological. They're either tiny or gigantic or jewel-encrusted or disposable, anything except watch-sized things for telling the time and which can be bought from a shop. I'm trying to find something a bit like a Swatch, comprising two or three hands on a single dial of reasonable size, but made of a durable but unostentatious material, in reasonably subdued colours, and which isn't ridiculously thick, large, or small, and available for prior inspection in an actual shop. This doesn't sound like it should be an amazingly difficult challenge.
