Cubes

Cubes

It's just that I seem to like right-angles – in squares, cubes, rectangles etc. Increasingly, they fascinate me.
(Of course, there are no right-angles as such in this picture. Perhaps, that's what makes them even more fascinating.)

It's a Funny Old World

The 'phone rang on Friday. This is a genuine record of the initial exchange.

'Phone: Ring. Ring.
Me: Hello.
Caller: Hello. Can I speak to Alan, please.
Me: I'm afraid you've got the wrong number. There's no Alan here.
Caller: Oh. Well, can you know what his number is, then?

They were not joking!
By the way, Alan. If you are reading this, someone called on Friday. Sorry, they didn't leave a message – just me bemused.
