Got it

Sometimes it only takes one thing, a thought, a moment in time, a retort, a question or an answer.  Today that I s what happened.  It was a thought while I was sitting expectantly in the Reading cinema in Mandurah.  We bought our movie tickets early, 3 hours before it started just in case there was a line.  We visited the information centre afterwards, enjoyed seafood and fish and chips (no chips for Mel and me) at Cicerellos on the foreshore.  A stroll down the foreshore to Pinjarra Road and a visit to the unknown Mandurah Museum.  I loved the old telephone on the wall, the type you see on Greenacres.  There was a huge pair of bellows and 3 prison cells, most confronting.
A quiet stroll down past the shops on Mandurah Terrace with a stop over at the souvenir shop.  Mel bought a tea towel for Louise and Eric and a warm hat for Emily.  We bought coasters for our table and are using them in our holiday unit.  A takeaway coffee and off to  see Leonardo strut his stuff.  That was when it happened.  The ideas I was entertaining about my future novel dashed out of the door without any warning.  Poof, all gone.  Replaced by wild and whimsical ideas of dizzy heights, but possibilities which could rear themselves from under the carpet and work their magic.  We will wait and see.
