We used to play rounders at school and it always struck me as odd that the pitch we played on was square, or maybe I was odd, 'not plumbed in' as the saying went, Susan would say, 'not wired to the mains' sadly Sue's no longer here, she's practising her ballet somewhere beyond the stars.
I spent too much time thinking about how much time dragged its feet when it wanted to and too little time thinking about how little time there was.
