return

back in norway from an enjoyable if strangely exhausting sojourn in greece. the whole island is poised just on the brink of my favourite 'season', the brief spell in september when a bright summer sun still hangs in the sky but the air is chilled with autumn.
having never seen a snake in this particular corner of the world, I have now seen two since I got back. one black and swiftly slithering; the other small, torpid and beige. omens for sure, though a swift perusal of the ophiomantic literature leaves me none the wiser.

Obviously something to do with what those oracular predictions of your future prophetness: it'll be along St Patrick's lines...

yarr! I want to live forever as a parade float too. my totem colour will be mauve.
speculations are warranted. yesterday I came across a coiled mass of two speckled poisonous snakes, ridgy with scales and thick as the arm of a starving child. three is the magic number and to boot, these were coupling. attached to the female, the male disappeared tail-first into the foilage. I swear its whipped little head sported a look of confusion as it disappeared under a bush.

Are you sure they aren't planning a Thai-style coup? Check under the duvet before you go to bed and declare a state of emergency if they surround your house with tanks.
