NPIMH: "chansons sur les filles." catherine.

yesterday's C-spot drive party experience may or may not have had to do with the subject of my dreams last night.

as dreams usually tend to, there were lots of strange things that didn't fit together at all in the one i remember from last night. one of these was that Our Favourite Postie Paul apparently had a Mini (not sure if it was Austin or Morris or Rover or what have you) which he needed watched. and so, i was watching it for him at my house, which looked strikingly similar (yet not at all) to the one Mariam's family used to have when we were growing up.

the Mini itself was a bit like a Mini Designer (scroll down and click the link so designated to learn more about the Mary Quant connection), only it didn't have the big flower on the bonnet---instead, it had places on the upholstery inside where it was obvious some sort of horrific big flower-motif prints in that same general shape had been removed fairly recently, so the outline could still be seen on the fabric that was left.

it got stolen out of the drive in front of the house (which is strange, since there was no drive in front of the real house). and then i woke up.

so, er, not that he ever would---but i think this dream clearly illustrates that if Postie Paul happens to have need of someone to watch a Mini for him, it really shouldn't be me. XDXD

(for the record, i think at least part of the blame for this dream lies on the shoulders of Mini Magazine, who had a feature a couple of issues back on a diamond white Mini Designer that some lady had restored. and my horrified fascination with the big scary flower across the bonnet. XDXD)
