Fastly Slow

Surely the most exciting things are those that happen suddenly, like love, sleep or tannoy announcements.

Other things creep up on you like lizards or the presence of turtles in your life. It’s not that these things are slow per se, but that we don’t notice them immediately and straight away.

I was reading when the lizard arrived and walking innocently through the room when the turtles jumped off their little island into the depths of their tank like I was a predator or something like that and sleep is lovely, love is sleepy and you all know what tannoys are like but I’m thinking of the ones that announce good news like ‘due to the late running of your tour around the Kremlin everyone will get free chocolate.
