" Lubricants is our business" was written on the back of a minibus-kind-of-lorry just in front of me, stuck in traffic...I started to imagine, sweeping away some nasty thoughts, the rusty cogwheels of the life/the globe that need to be lubricated, then remembered a dog called Rusty that I saw in a movie years ago, then thought how much I wanted to be a director when I was a teenager...
"Do you want to know your future, beauty?" asked the old gypsy with so many brown spots on her face which made me think of first the brown spots on my iris, then wild birds with brown spots in their eyes, then Iris the rainbow goddess in Greek mythology, then the flower iris, then Iris Murdoch...

That is the mind at work, a beautiful flow of images and associations. I've never read any of Iris Murdoch books but I will have to keep an eye out for them. The iris is a beautiful flower, too.
Neithet have I...
Thank you
