Dearest Victoria ,
you enquired so, we have:
Listing the problems from her front teeth to the back molars, Winston sat with her back to the mirror
She had bad eyesight so couldn’t really see the contours of her face but was comforted by the fact that there was another person in the room ,
Down stairs Q was making cakes ,
the outfit she wore had enough diamonds to drown a drag queen , some ended up in the cake , along with the usual ingredients : ***** , fluff from under the stairs , a pinch of cremation dust from her Pa’s last fake funeral , the end of a shoelace that had begun to fray and very good quality butter Hard to find in these parts, Most the butter was mixed in with genetically modified jaguar pelt,
modified to grow their pelt as butter, the farmers would attach buckets to their bodies and collect as they malted
This was the latest trend, Q despised it , she made cakes for the café up the road , a dingy old shack with only four stools and one type of coffee, sludge
Out in the garden Sarah Whitely grew her carrots, alongside her parsnips and next to that stood an oak tree who rained down her wisdom onto the veg ,
this made sure that everyone in the house was stocked up with their daily doses of Wisdom ,
Otherwise they were sure to get sick without it ,
I believe in your world , you’d call it something a bit like vitamins ,
Only as one ate the carrots their eyesight into other universes would develop
And the parsnips helped them with their imagination,
I like eating mine with thai tea caramel sauce, shipped in from the faraway land of JAUL , there I hear they don’t need to eat anything but pastries and pizza to keep up their health , they live in amongst wise trees with wise people and wise mountains , thus their capacity for wise is already overflowing, they keep it in jars under the stairs and gift their visitors with at least 3 jars before they depart ,
From across the valley I can see the Snarls house, they are friendly enough and pretty decent fellows but quite honestly they must learn to be a little more understanding and a little less demanding ,
they keep on borrowing all of our rolling pins and never give any back , and the ones they do give back are the ones I don’t really mind them having , it’s that silver one with the flecks of gold dust I really want to use, the gold flakes onto the pastry , that
my dear friend, is the secret to a good quiche, gold dust
The market is 19 kl away , john the Baptist is often the first up , so he goes out there on the solar bike ,
his name isn’t really john the Baptist but ever since he had that motorbike accident he , firstly , switched to solar bikes , and secondly decided that he wouldn’t live any more of his precious life being called Barry McWetsulf ,
anyway, so John does all the shopping but seems to almost always forget the washing powder that doesn’t foam , ergh , the foaming ones contain maggot eggs that burrow into your clothes and before you know it , the foam is all maggots and you’ve got to buy a new cloak ,
that’s a pain you know ,
they aren’t easy to come by anymore Since the hobbits passed through and bought all of he stockpiles up ,
no one thought to make any more
We heard they were dead
(sigh)
supply and demand eh?
Who am i? Ah I forgot, I am the local fortune teller ( that’s what is written on my business card ) but I really I trained in mechanics and have a knack for fixing jumbo jets , sadly the last one I fixed did crash into the Indian Ocean ,
killing all passengers but the dog survived, turns out I had left the last piece of the engine at home, I thought we just didn’t need it anymore
but ya live and ya learn old chap!
So dear, you didn’t put a return address on your letter asking who I was and where I live , so I wrote you one anyway , we do have signal boosters here , maybe I’ll catch you on the airwaves?
Your Friend , Trustee , Peaceful Neighbour , World dweller , Life consumer , time creator , music maker , nebula fornicator
