In the future everyone will think about love all the time.

1. In the future, I live in an apartment and my other friends are also in the building, and we visit each other and have coffee and cakes and wine parties and conversations that are endless because we will finish them tomorrow. There is collective shopping and a certain amount of gossip.

2. In the future, I live at the cottage and have in particular chickens, maybe rabbits, and also some vegetables I've learned to grow, plus apples and berries, and somebody comes once a month with necessaries and my hair gets wild and some people think I'm a little crazy because I know something about herbs or whatever.

3. In the future, I live winters in Greece or someplace warm, leaving when the rooks arrive from Russia and coming back when they're well and gone; there's some small place where the tourists go in season and I walk on the windy beach in the morning, and in the summer I come home to the beer garden and the ordinary life of trams.

This is perfect.

Now I know why rooks speak with Russian accents!

All three, they sound good to me.

I love this, seriously. Not least because I finally live in the Czech Republic again, and my friend has a cottage, and for the first time in a while I feel like I'm getting closer to that future where we'll all think about love all the time.

So...thank you.

I know you've already got me down for #1, but pencil me in for #2 as well and I'll visit you at #3.
