in time's eye

Morning phone call to the Department of Social Welfare with a view to claiming unemployment benefit.
Ah, it's good for what ails ye.
I gave a few details.
Humbling enough.
The girl on the phone said: "You're not the James Healy?"
She said it with a most appealing emphasis.
I thought it was the Department of Social Welfare's finest hour.

There will never be a facsimile, James. I'm quite sure of that. :)

All my best wishes for a very happy Christmas and New Year to you and your family.
