I have Francine endowed with all kinds of theories about why she should have nothing to do with a former lover, finding herself standing close to him, he in a placatory, reasonable mood, as handsome and as sexy as he ever was. And she sees both him and her remotely, together, as if through the wrong end of a binoculars, everything intensifying, and all those theories going out of the window because of his easy wavy blue-black hair which she once ran her fingers through. I know the guy even better than she does and hate him as much as anyone but then I'm a fella. It's what I live for; trying to push my dislike to one side so I can take on Francine and make her (logically) do the work I've employed her for - be a part of the plot. Many would say writing's a perversion. But it beats telly. Bet you've got ten thousand suggestions.Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644918126688721788.post-69643666546757799242013-11-15T16:48:01.466+00:002013-11-15T16:48:01.466+00:00If we equate office with state of being, then it w...If we equate office with state of being, then it wouldn't matter what else you were doing while you waited.<br /><br />Ditto on sermons feeling like punishment - didn't have much then to deserve punishment, but probably do now.

Had you said "Office got me" instead of "Office gets me" we would have realized the the office ponderings took place when you were still a choirboy. Good description of sermon attitude.

But do they square with the preposition? Is it possible to wait inside "l'office" divin" or work, position or calling? These are all abstractions and this is a CoE hymnal. I needed distractions for goodness sake, especially later when I became a choir-boy and began to see the length of the sermon as akin to a prison sentence for which my crime was only vaguely defined.<br /><br />MikeM: No I don't want eight on its side laser-projected on to the sky; as I explained Dirac hated equations that employed infinity since it made them look untidy, and act untidily. I want his electron equation up there: a glory just as much as Constable's The Haywain.<br /><br />Note: I re-read the post and realised I wasn't clear about infinity.
