Oh yes, sticky toffee. Is there anything so tasty in the world?
Maybe not.
But to get such a prize, there has to be a challenge. You can't just get one for no reason. It should be a healthy challenge.
How about, walking up this great hill. It will be a challenge, but the rewards will be great.
So here I am. About to walk up a big hill. It's not a mountain. It's a hill. It's not too hot. I've got some water.
Let's walk.
This is really not too difficult. Anyone could really be doing this.
Up some more, then a little bit more.
However, this hill seems to have grown.
I look up.
I look down.
Halfway there.
Got to stop and draw some breath. Get myself ready for the final climb up this hill. I'm sure it's turned itself into a mountain.
The view does look great. It gets better, the further you walk. Which means that there will really be two rewards.
An amazing landscape view and some sticky toffee. I hope it comes with coffee.
I continue to walk up. I am focused. No one will stop me.
Almost there.
I'm here. Wow, what an amazing view. This is so good.
“Welcome.”
This must be the person that rewards me with sticky toffee.
“Yes, sticky toffee for you. Some coffee too.”
Yes, it really is a nice day.
I've earned it.

After the riots in the UK, I decided to leave X. Seems like it's the in thing now. I'm now using BlueSky instead.
