Knots

When I swim I think of the sky. When I fly I think of the sea.

When I am on a boat I float.

I have been reading about knots. I think my favourite is one called a Camel Hitch. It was used by the famous 19th century circus Ringing Brothers’ Circus to tie up their performing camels. It was a knot that was particularly suited to camels because being ruminants they have a tendency to slobber uncontrollably and this knot is highly resistant to excessive wetness.

Let me know if you’d like me to describe how to do it to you.
