The confidence with
which some people tell
me what their silent
and invisible
imaginary
friend is thinking and
demanding of them
is always stunning.

Toe the line
A strong belief in
Homeopathy
would not survive an
attempt to treat a
severe case of Gout
in a Big Toe joint.
Riddle me this
There are just
two kinds of
people in
the world. Those
who ask the
questions and
those who think
they know all
the answers.
Achoo!
A breath
of fresh
air in
Spring is
full of
pollen.
Apply liberally
Science is a
religious
antiseptic.
It needs widely
applying all
over the world.
Norwegian would do
Skarsvag
looks like
the kind
of place
that might
be just
about
as far
away
as you
can get
from the
madness
of the
World.
Toe the line
Some illness
is shy, stays
hidden from
view, makes no

76 Candles

as a child, how
I would have to
wait years, many

apart and I
would rather they
slowed down again.

every
old man
is a
young man
trying
to work
out where
the hell
he is.
We’re all individuals
Cabbage White
butterflies
seem boring
to me. All
exactly
the same in
their looks and
behaviour.
But I guess
they don’t seem
like that to
each other.
