What...? Like the way Staffordshire Bull Terriers are adorable?
The last time I adopted a dog from the pound, one of the employees related a tale his dog who had a thing about trying to chase seagulls. She managed to open the window and fell out of the third storey flat onto her head. Frantic, the owner rang the vet who asked her breed. On finding out she was a Staffie he said, "Oh. No need to worry, then. It won't make any difference."
While you're in a permanent present, he's working out the future fridge raid knowing that once he's done it, he can't be scolded for something which doesn't exist.
Jac Past tells me when Jac present looks at an interesting landscape, she will see cool shadows under trees, dark shadows in inaccessible caves, warmth and golden rays out in the open...all sorts of colours, textures, temperatures and light densities.
Each bit of the landscape has its own properties and may be experienced. The landscape is different without it's variance.
So it is with Jac Past, Jac Present and Jac Future. The landscape of Jac would be different without it's variance. Jac Present is a fine place to be, but the interaction of the properties of Jac Past, Jac Present and Jac Future is fine, too...and perhaps necessary for existence.
Aaah, you see that's Molly Past sticking her nose in again with previously learned information about the Mediterranean (I'm glad you can spell that...) and the North Atlantic.
But without Molly Past and Molly Future, what have we got? Does Molly Present exist even for a nanosecond before becoming Molly Past? Or becoming Molly Future?
So Molly Past is telling Molly Present two things: to be nervous of the water, but that challenges may be overcome and maybe even enjoyed by Molly Future?
Perhaps Molly Present might stop listening to Molly Past and talking to Molly Future for a moment and simply experience the water's touch. How does it feel to Molly Present?
My daughter and I walk a lot, my granddaughter runs everywhere.
Public transport has it's limitations, but it's healthier, more environmentally friendly and my daughter learned to travel about independently long before her piers.
So no, apart from pushing the baby buggy up and down mountains and a bit of piggy-backing when feet were sore, I've not played taxi.
Please tell me how in nine months it may be compulsory to have your baby microchipped in Europe? Please tell me how you think that's going to work without current legal process.
I'm not saying it's not possible to abolish the European Human Court of Human Rights, the veto of the Queen, head of the Commonwealth over government and that we might be subject to a fiendish dictatorship at some point in the future, but to have everything overridden and the compulsory microchipping of babies in place within nine months seems a little over-optimistic to my thinking.
Three flakes of snow and a leaf on the train track and whole of Britain comes to a bureaucratic grinding halt of confusion and inactivity.
