Have you ever wondered if they listen?

Today on the Peter Gordon Breakfast show at Eagle Radio, PG and myself were talking about how very common it is to talk to inanimate objects!

I do it all the time – the kettle, the plants, the car – in fact whatever will stay still long enough to listen!

Somewhere in my mind I do think they hear me, they just can’t answer back. After all, a bit of friendly encouragement never did anything any harm did it, that’s the way I see it and it helps me get a few things off my chest at the same time.

Now, before you think PG has finally sent me over the edge, let me just say these conversations only last 2-3 mins max, it’s not like I sit on my sofa talking into space all evening. So I urge you, if you have 5 mins today to discuss some of life's questions with your kettle, then do it ( make sure no one else is around of course), it could be a turning point – albeit either to insanity or a less cluttered mind - but you’ll come away a different person.

Happy chatting
