Day dreaming. Dreaming of the unlikely. Lying back on the beach watching the sky. Blue, glorious blue, apart from the three planes flying high creating vapour trails.
The vapour trails formed an upside down “U” – or Pi. So yes dreaming. Just idly thinking how good it would be to have sensible television programmes with no excessive noise, no spurious sounds, and no blaring, so-called music. Programmes where you could hear clear dialogue and have images that don’t flash, zoom and pan so fast you feel dizzy.
Just dreaming. Like the jet streams - just Pi in the sky.

Asparagus Waving
Asparagus Waving
If you didn’t already know, you may be excited to learn that in parts of the Mediterranean they believe the great Greek God Zeus used Asparagines (with a soft g) as a mood enhancer when wooing Goddess’s and mortals.
The road between Opatija and Rebac on the east coast of Istria is not straight. It has bends; it has no hard shoulder; just a sheer drop into the Adriatic - a scenic route. A route favoured by Harley Davidson motorcyclists with customised, painted and polished machines, fat wheels and a penchant for practicing their alternate inclinations from the vertical at some speed.
During the spring, at random intervals along this route a man will step into the road waving his Asparagines (with a soft g). It would appear that such men waving their Asparagines (with a soft g) are trying to lure motorists into a screaming, screeching or wobbly halt and part with his or her Kuna’s in exchange for a bunch of Asparagines (with a soft g) thereby heightening the emotional experience of Gods and mortals.
The locals, tourists and HD riders may feel either moved or duped by the exchange. It is a strange world in which we live. Made stranger by the Gods.
The Gods at the BBC try to move us mere mortals in different ways; with tomatoes (little t), music and noises. For example, in an episode of Horizon this year the BBC had computer generated tomatoes (little t) dancing across the screen to the sound of very loud noises (Repeatedly, with a cap R). I cannot even remember the subject of the episode – I only remember the tomatoes (little t) and the noise. Perhaps the Gods at the BBC are trying to tell us something beyond our understanding: to move us in mysterious ways. If they would just blow raspberries (with a silent p) at us, we would know we are being taken for a ride and driven round the bend
As it is, I can only cast asparagines (with a soft g).
