What comes after the end?

 

'I'm struggling a bit with reality,' Husband said.

'Huh,' I said, 'you should try being three different people* in the course of thirty minutes.'

It turned out he didn't mean my sort of reality; he meant infinity, eternity, that sort of stuff. He's still thinking about his alternative theory and getting a bit bogged-down.

While walking by the river we discussed black holes and dark matter - note to Self: not the dark web, that is something altogether different - covering both Newton and Einstein in the process. I say we discussed; I mean that Husband talked and I 'listened', throwing in the odd line here and there. Lines like, 'With our finite minds we are incapable of understanding the infinite.' (Yes, I was rather pleased with that and kept repeating versions of it always including the word 'finite'.)

In fact I was so engrossed in our discussion that I walked into an overhanging tree branch. Which must prove something.

* I have been writing blogs and FaceBook posts not only on my own page but also in the personae of my heroine and her agent. (Incidentally the agent doesn't exist; it's just me pretending to be one.) (Suggesting that my heroine does exist. I could be creating my own Black Hole here.)

Don't forget that you can listen to the serialisation of This Time Next Year at any time. Pop over to ... hang on ... that's right, Alison's blog or Buzzsprout, which gives you lots of listening options. 

It's FREE and they're short episodes, but start at the beginning which is at the bottom. It's called The Day Before and it was first podcast on 1st April.
