Amongst my Lamentations, I expressed regrets that John Betjeman was no longer Piet Laureate, what with the Jubilee and Olympics and what not.
"John Betjeman would be very, very old," said The Small Object of Desire.And by George, she was right."I know, but it would have been so jolly," I replied.
"Think about it," she said. "If John Betjeman had been around, he'd have Alzheimer's by now. If you think of Carol Ann Duffie as John Betjeman with Alzheimer's the world is suddenly a better place."
Prudence, Caution, Deliberation.
The Hermit points to all things hidden, such as knowledge and inspiration,hidden enemies. The illumination is from within, and retirement from participation in current events.
The Hermit is a card of introspection, analysis and, well, virginity. You do not desire to socialize; the card indicates, instead, a desire for peace and solitude. You prefer to take the time to think, organize, ruminate, take stock. There may be feelings of frustration and discontent but these feelings eventually lead to enlightenment, illumination, clarity.
The Hermit represents a wise, inspirational person, friend, teacher, therapist. This a person who can shine a light on things that were previously mysterious and confusing.
I must have been doing the cat's shoelaces
when this lot came a-calling.

Isn't she always?
I do miss old John.
Hey Kevin,
I'm not sure he was a fan of the Games. As he said to a haughty Olympic lass many years ago:
"Little, alas, to you I mean,
For I am bald and old and green."

Dinahmow and libby: don't encourage her!
Pat: me too. There's a sly poetic wit missing in the public life.
