Yes, so there. Leaving in a few hours. This time it will be a three week trip to Thailand and Cambodia. I've never been to Cambodia before so am pretty excited about that. Anyway, the point is that this blog, Prattle, will go silent for a bit. But I'll be back.
Bloody farangs...
When I was little we used to say that if you tried to imagine the edge of space, and thought too much about it, you'd go crazy. Sometimes I used to sit there and really try so hard to imagine what was just beyond the edge of space, and I couldn't, of course, it was just...completely beyond my comprehension. Then I'd really quickly stop thinking about it because I was sure I was about to go off the deep end.
Sometimes I still feel that way. Watching Gravity, and this, and trying to imagine what it must be like to be floating above the world, look one way, the universe; look the other way, a small blue and green sphere we call home. It's completely, and utterly bonkers. Beautiful, but bonkers.
