Rapidly gaining serenity.

The loose change in his pocket was enough to buy an old newspaper.

Yesterday’s news, today.

But better, were the ads, the editorials and the reviews.

Highlights of a piece of healthy toast.

The forum was a serious venue for world chefs, but somehow the topics seemed less significant than in previous years.

We met the famous and distinguished culinary maestros.

We became diners in their pop-up eateries.

Everyone exchanged tips, but never recipes.

That would have been infra dig.

To Your Very Good Health mes amis!

Love the way it sounds…

But?

Never heard of it before.

Best to discover those “its” before they tell you.

Sitting in a room with rows of stackable chairs, being pitched the “great opportunity”, is not the best time to use your sense of judgement for a big commitment.

Great and good things are not delivered that way. Well rarely, perhaps one in a few hundred times – that’s as good as it gets.

Instead, wait, without expectation, for the unexpected!

Trad jazz and the funkabone all stars.

Glad to be with you, my subconscious wonder.

 

Bring on the romancing statisticians!

Ordinary people, where do they all come from?

You made them.

We say no, no, to them changing.

There are none.

Special, as in worthy and fun.

Exceptional, as in tons of laughter.

Wonderful, as in having a story to tell.

Time to meet and offer a seat.
