Living the dream

The racing blue convertible.

The young, blonde girlfriend.

The large, green leafy plant.


Most genies offer precisely 3 wishes.

His satisfied grin as they waited at the traffic lights was the proof that, if you're clever about it, it's enough.

Maltesers

Last week, I had a delicious, if mildly unbalanced and slightly overwhelming, conversation with a very friendly girl about Maltesers.  Although, looking back with the benefit of some extra googling, it might have been about Malteser.

The musical relationship

After watching a little girl drum up quite a bit of support, I have concluded that there exists an inverse relationship between the innate cuteness of a street musician and how talented they need to be.

Should be able to play pretty well.

Must be incredible.

Although there would then be a lower bound, below which musical talent is no longer particularly necessary.

May benefit from an ability to hold eye contact.
