Something momentous...

I don't know what, but something momentous has happened somewhere recently. It may be that we will never know, for the event has caused reality to slip a groove and we are, for the time being at least, in a slightly different continuum to that we inhabited yesterday.

I am indebted to the Lord of All String for digging up this snippet, which outlines a proposal to recommence airship production in Hertfordshire.

It is a known fact¹ that airships only appear at times of great stress to reality, presaging or reacting to great disturbances in the fabric of space and time (viz the 1930s: full of airships and sandwiched neatly in the advertising break between parts one and two of the World War².

I have posted this here as the redoubtable mr_h_r_hughes locks his journal. I would be grateful for any reports from around the world that may help me pin down the reason for the reappearance of the airship.

¹Also an un-provably known fact, so don't ask me to prove it.

²There are small airships that appear spontaneously to witness the distortion of reality at major sporting events too, when something completely unlikely happens, such as Cleveland making the Superbowl, or Chelsea winning the European Cup.

Time

If Time was an entity, I’d say it has either died or is extremely ill. It’s certainly stopped operating in the office this afternoon. It has been around a quarter past three for hours already and set to be so for some time yet.

I keep wanting to doze off in boredom, but that would be a bit obvious in an open plan office. Apart from which time is so slow today that I am not sure that it would have moved on much by the time I woke up again. And I’m not sure if that’s better: to be fully refreshed and wide-awake but still bored and with nothing to do. At least now I can sigh loudly from time to time and develop a hang-dog look that would make a stone weep.

I have already decided that I shall slope off home as soon as core hours end, but as long as it remains a quarter past three, well, that’s of no use to me.
