The Little World

Possibly in the whole town!

I’ve got 27 model kits ready to build. They came from friends, family and pocket money. I’ve got enough cement for all of them, and enough paint.

School is out, and has been since 1972. Employment is done, and has been since 2016. I do not have any homework due.

And no-one pesters me to go out to football games and cheer for the muddied oafs. I can regard Hockey Night In Canada with disdain. The in-laws have stopped trying to organise family get-togethers for their family.

Even the government has gotten into the act by urging me to stay home and save petrol. I can legitimately not care about sunsets over rocks or outback plains. The landscape may rot on its own.

It is the richest and most rewarding prospect of freedom that I have ever known. I can play all day and never have to pick up my toys!
