The Little World

Rejoice.

It means you still have a fancy and it is still capable of being tickled. There are people in the world for whom this is just a distant dream. Celebrate the fact that you can still be amused.

If the thing that captures your attention is just a passing phenomenon you can take some comfort – whatever passed will come round again. The world is like that. Get it now and keep it on the top of the wardrobe. It’ll be worth a fortune when it comes back into fashion.

if you find that you have a whole new source of inspiration, you can be assured of one thing – it’s going to cost money. New lusts are expensive emotions. Just pray that it s not illegal and that you can still get parts for it in three years time.

If it is model kit building give some thought to what you are going to do with the finished product. If you are of a choleric temper or a lazy disposition you may never actually have a finished product – just things thrown back in the closet or at a wall. If you are a better sort you will eventually have an item of beauty and joy forever, and it will catch dust something chronic if you don’t house it properly. IKEA will help a little, but at a cost. Other bespoke cabinet makers will be worse, though you’ll probably get better furniture.

If all else fails, store it at the model club until the members start growling at you for space.
