Do-do, do-do,

do-do-do-do,

do-do-do.

do-do, do-doo.

 

You can hear it now,

notes picked out

on a knock-off

Casio keyboard.

 

Time is relative;

memory is elastic,

quantum jumps

from youth to yesterday.

 

And back.

Yes... I can hear it now. And I'm always making those jumps. Spotify killed the HMV Shop (though they're coming back!)

My favourite Einstein quote, after a particularly boring lecture in his honour, "I have just discovered a new theory of eternity”.

I think you have it wrong way round, just now that bushy-bushy and those droopy eyes could be knocking at your door any time but you can't go looking him up – a case of attraction rather than promotion.

You can leap forward but not backward.

Einstein said everything should always be made as simple as possible, but not simpler. But of course he was also a very practical man, “The formula for happiness in this life is X + Y + Z where X is work, Y is play, and Z is keeping your mouth shut.

Whatever anyone says, Einstein really was a genius. Planted, not sown, my mother said. She should know!

Hope you are well Ewan keep up the great work! Tom
