Random acts of stationery #10

would you be fly­ing to iceland?

Still seems pretty nippy from where I’m standing.

Shirt­less blokes roast­ing their beer paunches in the sun, cleav­ages over­flow­ing out of dimin­ut­ive bikini tops, a bare­foot man car­ry­ing two 99 Flakes…

Kate — Ice­land is one of my dream loc­a­tions. One day, maybe one day …

Timbo — Put a nice woolly sweater on.

Ariel — Good heav­ens, is it like that round your way too? That’s it. I’m not going out until October.

Mad dogs and Eng­lish men

mr wit­ness : you will get there some day, if you wish to. and it will be worth the wait.

ariel : i’m sure the streets nearby are in a sim­ilar condition…ick.

I quite enjoyed both the ‘heat­wave’ and the ‘arc­tic blast’ we exper­i­enced last week.

Some remote Scot­tish island please. Am ser­i­ously con­sid­er­ing it for this year’s two months (please only two) of hellish heat. I need to write to someone ask­ing if they want to do a house swap. Ha haha ha. Oh well.

Yup, it was hot. Then again, I wore black today. And I saw body parts that I really didn’t want to see. Urgh. It’s only going to get worse from now on.

Seahorse — After Ice­land, remote Scot­tish islands are next on my list. If you find one, let me know.

Ariel — “Then again, I wore black today.” Ah, this is my life. Every day. Almost.

Re Scot­tish island… it even gets pretty hot up there too and there are still some tour­ists and even more midges. Not pleasant.

what if she said yes?

Damn those midges. Any­way, it’s been rain­ing for two days here so now I’m hap­pier. But I still have a yearn­ing, and will make a note to pick an unin­hab­ited, inac­cess­ible and very remote island, and then get myself delivered there by heli­copter. With two months sup­plies, a floor-length mos­quito net stapled around the brim of a wide sun­hat, and a cata­pult to fend off any stray tour­ists. Mind you, cata­pult­ing from inside a mos­quito net…could be dangerous.
