The best things in life are…


You heard it, we heard it – the horrid roar of that huge bubble bursting – but now that it's done,  listen! In the distance could that be the gentle and subtle sound of a tiny sigh…of…? 

The dollar, the euro, the yen, the pound – have these lost their authority as definitive yardsticks of value? What is one to do?

Roast chestnuts.
Lights. En rose.
A rose.
A bulb forced in winter.
Swans on the wing.
The cork that popped.
The look he gave me.
The punchline that  paid off.

than the day before).

And in the way of all contradictory truths – we’ve got a good feeling about this 2009.

Meet us on the bridge. At sunset.
