1982: A footnote
“It is said to be common knowledge among time-travel enthusiasts (who have rather conveniently and suspiciously never been seen) that stopping in 1982 in Killearn, a small commuter village 15 miles north of Glasgow, is actually The Worst Rest-Break possible, as though nothing memorable happened anywhere else, nothing AT ALL happened in Killearn, not even a hiccup. Many choose to continue to time-travel to a more interesting year before stopping to have coffee and a short stroll, which has led to the edges of 1982, December and January, becoming blackspots for time-machine collisions as the travellers grow drowsier.”

Occupational Migration
Friends and Family:
Due to the Global Recession, I have decided to simplify my life and find a job that is more resilient to These Economic Times. In times of hardship, people from across the Globe return to simple self-reliance to save money - in turn, they feed into a thriving home crafts industry.
Based on my belief in the strength of the craft industry, I have decided to turn my lifetime fascination of ungulates into my career. Beginning tomorrow, I fly out to Iceland for a 6-week tutorial in Sheep Husbandry, followed by an intensive fiber conversion workshop.
Now, there are those who might say, “is she spinning a yarn?” and “does she think this is a viable business plan?” To those doubters, I say, the need for for ungulate-generated products will always create a bull market for sheep.
Fondest regards,
-A-
