said the Katerina creatrix
so good to hear.... one truth once.
sad ... not consistently.
anyway, that really is IT!
Habits.
is largely what simple living is all about.
Other modes too of course.
the habit of always check minimal equipment on board:..backpack and if taking something out last eve, put it back...
laptop lead.
a so noisy library it is daft, is no good without a laptop... lead
oh well wasted day...
But that reminds me....
habits.
15 years ago a sane parent would have one....parenting is habit......as i did...
but no more.
The yoga women... Alison and juicy Lucy
supermodel Lucy ( both arrivals from Londonish 2007ish)
stop!
...wow a call!!!
me in library i dont take calls
unlike the latterday yogamat ( actual, saggy ageing, ex Harpers or The Natural Store) supermodel Lucies 35ish...
even if the shouts of the latterday Lucies nearby about their
..their childrens books... woukd drown me out
quickest version, so ...that v v wet summer think it was 08
not getting to Hay beach that often.
river VERY turbulent... fierce flow... really a one off for late July. except everyone knew all we talked about eas how sad our veach unusable...for weeks!
one rare nice late afternoon
make text plan with Alison ( 2 kids 8 and 10) ... "i will be there in 30 mins..cu"
and they knew me 100% reliable
slight delay tourists clogging up very high in hills lanes... a bit of mud on road equals moral panuc for townies
normal in v rural places i lived in as they...two latterday Hay babes....knew
40 min...
we arrive....
5 kids by side of river...no one else..
.....age 5 - 12....
no one else
really raging river only 1 metre away....
very narrow shingle beach...usually high summer 50 m wide...
no one else...
good job a certain person there for the next hour...45 mins if i am kind
with all 6 kids....
hour later along come two yoga mat very beautiful women..... designersaris.... Lucy with her extreme designer ashram everything....and sunglasses from vogue
deep in spiritual ' conversation'..
on what could be seen...insighted..( i spied them yonder...coming back from far away)
about THEIR spirits....
i wonder if their conversation may have been a tad different if maybe poor ( fiscally, no stolen or inherited loot) neighbour, moi..may have had
maybe a flat on the way down the road from our hills...
and the six year old gone for a paddle... and slipped...and the 8 9 10 year olds tried to maybe rescue....
or
and many times since i have seen many a variant.
Only that one time did i even raise my voice " what planet have you two come ferkin cone from..!!"
and of course Juicy Lucy never even acknowledges again i am even, extant...in the same supermarkey queue as her..and her alive kids
after that....Wye Bother
( they post modern ironically call the cleaning lady 'solutions' round there these days)
but i know why Katerina creatrix the only half sane one i ever met...
but of course like sexist girlfriend of Voltaire...
turned against him, too... i guess, too ..will she
why? i have no idea..
