The Saturation Point of Bells

"There are those who stay at home and those who go away, and it has always been so. Everyone can choose for himself, but he must choose while there is still time and never change his mind." (from Moomminvalley in November, Tove Jansson,1971)

The Saturation Point of Bells

Monday, December 1, 2008

I probably owe you an explanation. But you're not going to get one.


There are some blog names that are so self-evidently right that not an iota of explanation is necessary. Take Hackpacker, for example. Now there you have a name that is neat and taut and witty and completely fit for purpose. I have but mentioned the word and off you go positively tingling with a soon-to-be-fulfilled expectation of the pleasures you will find when you mosey on by (which you should, by the way).


Alas, I can offer nothing so deftly apt.


At this moment, though, I would like to tell you that the storm clouds are getting angry behind the bridge and turning the harbour a shiny electric grey, boding well for a spectacular sunset. The sun still shines, though, making the little row of pink, purple, white and red spinnakers that are sailing past my borrowed window glow like birthday balloons.


It is beatiful here, and you gotta love a desk that requires sunglasses.

Oh we blush at the mentione - in the fashion of a sunset.
Sounds like a nice spot to be scribbling.

Oh my giddy aunt! for you and I that is funny...'cos they are! Giddy that is! (hmmm..maybe it's just me) How relieved I feel to still be living in the land of dinosaurs, where one has to actually remove a CD from it's cover...put it in a player..press play! Nevertheless, I may just spend this evening backing up my computer!
Sydney looks nice!
