The Journey

Decided to go out a ride on my bicycle. First I had to push the bicycle up a very steep, icy, snow covered hill. I met two other cyclists on their way up the hill. They warned me not to speak to the old woman at the top. She had a lot of legal, emotional and physical power. I wondered what they were talking about. Then I saw her, an old woman shuffling towards me. I recognised her, a woman from Dundee. I hoped she would pass, but no, she spotted me and called me across. She started to explain why everyone feared her. But she was merely the Gate Keeper, the Edge Figure guarding the boundary of another world.
Could I negotiate passed her to the Other Side?

Phone home

To my horror I discovered a big hole in the middle of my mobile phone screen. This happened when I tried to phone my mother, who has been dead for many years. She would keep me right.
Still, every cloud has a silver lining, it meant that I could go and buy another phone.
Phones never last very long with me, either drop them down the toilet, they just stop working or I accidentally lay them on the hot plate of the stove. And of course the hole in the screen syndrome.
Buying another phone is always great fun, not quite the highlight of my year, but you get the picture. What type, colour, folding, sliding, big screen, little screen (my one had two), quadband, bluetooth etc etc. Every boy's toy.
And of course its got to be able to talk to the Other Side.
