There are certain times when the routine steady trickle of Bills that is such an essential part of 21st Century living seem to increase in frequency…
They suddenly arrive thick and fast, barely giving one time to recover between the sharp intakes of breath that the casual glance at the bottom line demands…Sometimes, that breath may be accompanied by a grimace, or a wince. I usually save the wince for a speeding fine, first squinting at the lime green paper, trying hard not to see how big the fine is, whilst simultaneously desperate to know where, and when I was photographed “making progress”
It would seem impossible that the arrival of a succession of Bills could induce a smile, a feeling of warmth, or even a hearty laugh. Factor in looming unemployment and a couple of “Larger Than Life Bills” could even fill one with an Existential Dread.
This is exactly the scenario I am now facing into. Two enormous Bills, in successive months. But the thing is I really can’t wait, because I think its going to be Epic…..These two Bills will be a solid workout for my Ears, Eyes, Heart and Soul.
I think the first of these huge Bills arrives in October, and will be Bill Bailly. He will be followed shortly thereafter in November and this one will be Bill Murray……
