IOLFREE WRITES AN EPISTLE
Recently there was the interview with myself which took place in my home but the interviewer didn't describe it and obviously there are no pictures on gemini. So what would it be like in iolfree's home ? Well, think about it for a while. It would be humble. It would be in keeping with gemini. It would be all bare with no soft furnishings. Mostly empty. Let's just say there's not a lot going on. It would just be the bare minimum. So just a normal house. I myself like blond wood. A few objects would be lovingly hand crafted. Perhaps a picket fence outside. At least that's how I would imagine a home in keeping with gemini.
It's funny the way it's sometimes easier to visualise the internet like houses, and towns rather than files and folders. Especially the small internet. I wonder what Christmas is like in gemini. It's probably very simple, a few candles, almost a scandi style. A yule log, simple cards.
I spent the summer of 2020... well, I put up a picket fence and I painted it blue-green. It's the sort of fence that lets the wind pass through it and is 6ft high. I wonder how long it can defy the laws of gravity. The old garden fence had to be scrapped due to ivy - tons of it - and decay. The neighbours dug up the ivy roots on their side. My dog and I had a road trip! We travelled to county Cork on the south coast for a week, which is a 4 hour drive. My car only has 13 inch wheels so they must spin ridiculously fast. While there I gave some thought to gemini as to me it was like a new door that had opened.
I was trying to write an epistle recently and it was all this and that and the other all interweaving blah blah but it was too unwieldy so I left it. It was too much work. Never again! I'm just too simple and plain. I learnt a lesson. The lights are on but there's no one home ~ so I wrote these few paragraphs and the other thing about wall-warts.
