March is the kind of month that sneaks up on you. One minute you’re all Happy New Year and full of potential, the next you’ve got diary appointments in October and no time for a load of washing. The ‘thinking’ about the year seems to arrive at an uncomfortable nexus with the year itself. The trouble with being visionary is the fullness of the vision. There’s no ‘maybe it could go this way’, or ‘let’s workshop this scenario’. No. By the time the thing happens it has already happened so completely in your head that quite frankly, the reality is a little, what can i say… boring? I came across some learning this week - trend forecasters predict the past will become the future (…they’d better be careful or they’ll forecast themselves out of a job). With this is mind, keep an eye out for some old developments at Ambiguous Horse as 2011 pans out… uh oh, did i say 2011? I meant 2010. Fun Times. Future Present. Fur Balls. Funny Way. Full of Beans. Fully. Or just Fu. (the Chinese word for luck).
