– Sorry?
– You just disappear. For long of periods of time.
– Sorry. Things to do. You know how it is.
– I know how it is with most people ‐ they lead hectic lives, always on the go, no time to take a breather ‐ but you?
– I am busy too, you know: I have a moderately hectic life. I am occasionally on the go.
– Only occasionally, from what I see.
– Well, I just like to move at my own pace. But when things get in the way of my normal routine and pile up around me, well, then you could say life is becoming hectic. By my standards.
– So what has prompted this unexpected literary outburst?
– I kept meaning to, but never got round to it. I started taking a train to work some months ago, and discovered that I had the time to write short and pithy diary entries on my phone.
– But not blog posts?
– I'm sure it's possible; I just haven't tried. I quite like having a proper keyboard rather than having to write everything with two thumbs.
– Two thumbs?
– To be honest, mainly one thumb. The other seems very inaccurate for some reason. Whereas at the moment I'm on holiday, so can take some time out to thump away at the laptop.
– Doesn't sound a very exciting holiday.
– I have been doing other things, not just writing this. But mainly this.
– By the way, is the photograph relevant to the matter in hand, or just entirely random?
– I think it is entirely random.
– At least some things never change.
