Entry for October 6, 2007

Now that I have finished the book I have all this time available. I have so much time that I can actually walk around in it. It is like a big tent. The big Tent of Time.
Inside the big Tent of Time there is a sofa and a copy of a frivolous magazine. There is also a PC with Yahoo 360 on permanently. Occasionally a ringmaster comes into the Tent of Time and announces with gusto - "Roll up roll up. Come and stroll lazily around our three rings of eternity. Or don't roll up. Sit on your bum instead. Watch that telly over there - there's wrestling on Channel 432. Eat this pie too. It's nice."
And just outside the tent of time there's a little deck chair beside a stream. You can kick back with a nice glass of white and watch the hours and days roll by lazily, like leaves floating downstream. Twisting and turning. Always floating one way though. Out towards the sea. Which might be miles downstream, or might be just round that bend.
