storytime

While truth can be expressed in many ways, particularly through the arts and sciences and various forms of reporting, this story is meant to express truth in the best way possible.

Perhaps you wish to transform the story into a play, a poem, a film script, a television sitcom, a documentary series, a multi-generational saga, a stand up comedy routine, an opera, a political manifesto, a guidebook, a radio drama, or an investment note.

Perhaps you prefer sharing your thoughts through social media.

Perhaps you are seeking the necessary permissions to enter one or more of the other areas of the Adelaidezone.

Perhaps this virtual cottage is not interesting enough for you at present.

Once upon a time there was a magical little library.  It was a library in which to invest time properly.

You are currently in the library.  It exists simultaneously in history, and in the present, and in real time and in the EverTime.  It may even exist in the future, or not as the case may be.

There is much to be shown and much to tell and much to learn.

Frugality Cottage is an investment house and a research facility.

Have you read the guidebook?

Have you read the additional, educational references?

If not, you will find them if you look carefully.

You will also find quite a few investment notes for you on the table here.

Are you familiar with the Adelaidezone or is this your first experience of this digital vicinity?

Although this story, so far, has been mostly descriptive, this is obviously necessary.  

You may have discovered for yourself that it is easy to become disorientated in this part of the Internet without a proper awareness of its features. 

Gracious conversations take place in several areas of the Adelaidezone, not including the archives and libraries, of course.

There are always many simultaneous and intertwining stories happening in the Adelaidezone, as is the case in any interesting community.

Perhaps you are seeking to acquire a license with which to drive the plot appropriately.

Unenlightened persons will struggle to work out the plot of this peculiar story.

This is not genre fiction.  Nor is it genre fact.

You may have read a few warnings here and elsewhere.

Will you heed or ignore them?

Perhaps you are not really interested in magical libraries.

Perhaps you are not even interested in non-magical ones.

What do you believe to be the essential features of a high quality story, especially one to be developed and delivered mainly for the ongoing benefit of a magnificently mature, relatively sophisticated readership of high quality world leaders?

Many such leaders possess very limited leisure time though they may have access to quite considerable financial assets.  They may even have access to many important libraries, even on a daily basis.

Perhaps you access libraries on a daily basis.

Perhaps you even own an important library, or at least a small collection of important books.

How do you tell whether a book is important or not?

How do you tell whether a story is important or not?

Perhaps you think you are investing in social research by reading stories, possibly including fantasy ones.

How would you prefer this story to develop?

Do you regard yourself, or at least one version of yourself, as the protagonist?

In the Tower of Truth overlooking the Social Media Quadrangle, and in the ethereal observation tower in the grounds of Villa Twaklinilkawt, many virtual organisations, groups and ethereal individuals have very special work spaces for their very special work. 

Patrons of enlightenment may gain many special privileges in Frugality Cottage. Villa Twaklinilkawt and the Tower of Truth, at least when they make the effort to be adequately attentive.

Adequate attentiveness requires adequate initiative.

Have you ever had the chance to visit Villa Twaklinilkawt?

Have you ever had the chance to visit the Tower of Truth?

Most people have had the chance to visit both, until recently.

Yet most people apparently had other, less enlightened priorities.

Have you ever gained the necessary permissions to allow you to explore the three other quarters of the Adelaidezone, and the political diamond?

Perhaps you spend much of your time in the public domain parklands instead.

Do you place much value on the public domain?

Do you place much value on the public sphere?

Do you place much value on the public interest?

Do you place much value on private archives and/or private libraries and/or private laboratories and/or private studios and/or service wings?  

Do you place much value on public facilities?

Please note that this is a private library.  Your access here is a philanthropic gesture towards the improvement of communities, and societies.

How often do you read stories about philanthropy?

What have you read about the history of philanthropy, including political philanthropy?

What have you read about the philanthropic provision of public interest journalism?

There are many relatively respectable online venues, including this one.

If you prefer sharing your thoughts through News Crap outlets, and similarly disreputable venues, that is particularly strange. 

Perhaps you do not regard your most unfortunate decisions to be strange at all.

The highest quality journalism has been supplied from Villa Twaklinilkawt for many years now.

Indeed there are vaults under the villa, filled with earlier reports and associated, investigation-related documentation.

The reports and associated documentation are obviously of considerable historical value.

How do you usually assess historical value? 

How do you usually assess current value and future value?

Why do you think you have access to this cottage library, and this story?

Where do you usually learn about the differences between the public domain, the public interest, the public sphere and the copyright grounds?

What do you know about the history of the world?

What do you know about the history of Australia?

What do you know about the history of Adelaide and the Adelaidezone?

What do you know about the history of Nilkawt?

What do you know about authentic living in relation to the Adelaidezone, Australia and Nilkawt?

If you are a relatively mature and knowledgeable reader of stories, you are likely to be aware of many things and many places and many people and many problems.

Science is very important in most areas of the Adelaidezone, and in Nilkawt.

Perhaps you are mostly interested in science fiction rather than science fact.

Magic is fiction.  Anyone claiming otherwise is obviously deluded.

The entire digital world is fictional, even when facts are claimed to be presented from it.

Facts exist in the EverTime.

The EverTime is both factual and fictional.  Accessing it requires the suspension of disbelief.

Authentic living is very important here in Frugality Cottage.  That is how storytime becomes news and history.

This is not an ordinary library.  It has very few ordinary books.

Its purpose is to open minds.

Your access here is unlikely to last long.  Please make the most of it, while that opportunity remains.

Will you read here in silence for at least a few minutes or will you expect to gain permission to enter this private, virtual, quite magical library in the future?

I am The Author and the main writer, commentator and occasional narrator here, at least when I am not required elsewhere.

Please stay silent now, for reasons of civility.  You can always compose a few appropriate notes of your own, if you know how to do so.

The dialogues associated with this story are your responsibility to initiate, after you leave here, of course.

You may also leave a few suitable notes for The Moderator to examine.

If you provide unsuitable notes, or otherwise behave objectionably, you will most likely be banned from the entire Adelaidezone for eternity.

How do you think about history in relation to stories?

How do you think about the future in relation to plausible narratives?

What does authentic living mean to you?

Perhaps you have been presenting a series of documentary episodes on that topic somewhere.

Or perhaps you ironically prefer to think about authentic living mainly in terms of fiction.

You are currently in the library of Frugality Cottage, of course, or at least that is according to the guide.

You may prefer to think about mysteries

Or perhaps you regard the mysterious as a distraction from the serious.

You may already have the ability to describe the scene here, for the benefit of newly arrived tourists and journalists and other wanderers and wonderers.

Have you thought much about the mysteries of Adelaide or Twaklin or twitter?

In all stories associated with the Adelaidezone, history is always factually expressed, as far as possible.

Yet the present moment combines the factual and the unusual, as is the case in daily life.

The unusual may consist of real mysteries and/or fictional elements and/or several muddles and/or various dangers, and so may the usual.

What is usual to you may be unusual to someone else.

What is unusual to you may be usual to someone else.

The usual and the unusual are therefore relative.

Facts are not relative, even though muddled minds may claim otherwise.

What do you know about fans as strangers and as enthusiasts and as cooling devices and as heating devices?

What is the quality of your editing skills, and how did you acquire those skills?

Are you sure your narratives always support the public interest?

Do you often experience storytime in the EverTime?

While the Spirit of Enlightenment is known to hover around this little cottage from time to time, she has an extraordinarily full schedule.

Her Illustrious Highness is particularly involved in helping to supervise the provision of quaternary educational services. 

Perhaps you usually associate stories with entertainment rather than education.

Have you ever been involved in helping with the supervision of educational services?

Perhaps you regard supervisory responsibilities as boring.

Perhaps you usually regard education as boring, regardless of your current age.

Perhaps you are often bored in libraries, or perhaps you do not know the rules within them, or the opportunities likely to exist for you within them.

Perhaps you are not yet able to distinguish clearly between enlightened patronage and unenlightened patronage.

Perhaps you are not yet able to distinguish clearly between political pleasantness and political unpleasantness.

Perhaps you have forgotten about me in this story.

I am The Author and the present narrator.  I am also a high priestess, an expert investor, a highly skilled researcher, and the keeper of many important keys and secrets.

Do you regard me as a protagonist or antagonist or as another type of character?

There are many enlightening archives within Villa Twaklinilkawt, as you may have gathered by now.

There are also many enlightening display in the attic of Frugality Cottage.

Once you have updated yourself on all the imaginative places, enlightened and enlightening minds, and notable moments currently, or possibly, available to you through this digital library, you may wish to make your way to the sitting room and from there to the attic.

Have you experienced any Amazing Twaklin Tidings yet?

You may have acquainted yourself with Civility Today and the Civility Party of Australia and possibly even the global Mozarty Party.

You may have acquainted yourself with the possibilities of authentic living in a wide variety of ways.


 

What do you already know about the history of Frugality Cottage?

What have you discovered about the cottage and the key?

What do you know about the relationship between the cottage and the mat of purported matter?

What have you discovered about the relationship between the cottage and visitors?

How do you usually assess the limits of your patience?

When do you know patience is inappropriate?

Why, if at all, have you been investing in social research here if not to understand the narratives of various experiences better?

I know that investing in appropriately high standards can often require considerable resources, but do you have a similar level of awareness? 

How have you expressed your appreciation of the guidebook here, and to whom?

 

 

If you are not yet one of the registered patrons here, I would certainly advise you to become one soon, even though I never give advice.

Opportunities close quickly here for non-patrons, as they usually do elsewhere in the Adelaidezone.

Perhaps you are seeking to become better acquainted with the Revolutionary Climatological Needlepoint Committee.

Perhaps you are interested in becoming better acquainted with wonderful witches.

How do you distinguish between cathexis and catharsis

If you regard yourself as a relatively respectable member of the Naturals or a similar organisation, how are you preparing for the future, and why?

Perhaps you are not yet able to distinguish clearly between public interest journalism and Tabloidian trickery.

Perhaps you have even subscribed to Trickery Today.

Are you acquainted with Mr Twitter's Coffee House at all?

There are some very odd persons to be found there on most occasions, and even a few relatively enlightened ones.

Mr Twitter apparently does his best to exclude troublemakers from his refreshment venue, though he often has trouble doing so.

Perhaps you have written a roman à clef based on your earlier experiences as an investor.

If so, what are the most notable moments in that story, and why?

You may or may not have acquainted yourself with several of the dreadful publications directly and indirectly associated with the monopolistic News Crap empire.

You may or may not have acquainted yourself with the mostly dreadful and semi-dreadful though sometimes quite interesting policies of the LobbyRule Party of Australia and LayBore and the Naturals.

Perhaps you have attempted to understand the plots of their stories.

It may or may not have occurred to you yet that quality philanthropy is not about spending money or promoting the virtue signalling of rich people.  It is about making decisions in the public interest, through the practice of effective altruism.

There is obviously much to read each day apart from stories.

What have you discovered, so far, about Frugality Cottage? 

 

 

Once you become suitably registered as a patron here, several enlightening opportunities are likely to open up to you, in addition to those outlined above.

How have you already attempted to improve your abilities as a world leader?

If you are seeking to spend a longer time in the Adelaidezone than the next few moments, then one of the virtually realistic residencies may appeal to you, if you are eligible.  

Indeed, you may already have experiences such a residency.

If not, you may or may not be eligible to apply today.

There are also virtual retreats offered in the Adelaidezone.  They are suitable for people seeking a less active experience than a residency, as you may already know.  

You may or may not be eligible start the retreat preparations today.

Real world leaders know that procrastination is an unsuitable response to any important opportunity.

Yet such leaders are never opportunist or otherwise selfish.

What is your usual approach to supporting real world leaders, wherever they may be, possibly including the Old Adelaidezone Gateway?

Did you ever attend the Enlightening Adelaide Reports Exhibition at the Old Adelaidezone Gateway before the gateway became old?

Although the exhibition itself is not ongoing, all the themes associated with it are continuing into perpetuity, through the activities of quality journalists, including quality citizen journalists.

You may or may not have acquainted yourself already with most of the cultural institutions lining and surrounding the Social Media Quadrangle. 

At the Old Adelaidezone Gateway, for example, you may or may not have already completed an introductory course on sensibly real journalism for beginners.

Reaching Villa Twaklinilkawt usually requires the ability to pass through the Old Adelaidezone Gateway

What do you currently believe to be your acquaintance with the Adelaidezone Digital Arts Quarter and the ethereal suburb of Twaklinilkawt

I have strict instructions from the Council of Enlightenment to tell you only what you need to know at present.

How do you usually assess your informational needs?

If you believe you are already capable of properly understanding an emerging culture in an emergency, you may be qualified to present your current understanding in the sitting room, here in Frugality Cottage.

If you have successfully completed all the prerequisites for a proper patronage arrangement, here in Frugality Cottage, you may gain access to the nearby Hall of Appropriate Patronage.

Have you ever gained the necessary permissions to allow you to explore the Adelaidezone Digital Political Diamond in addition to the Adelaidezone Digital Arts Quarter? 

There are several layers of assessment associated with reputable political experiences, as you may already be aware.

You are likely to be well aware, by now, that the future is on fire.  Research continues in the Tower of Truth on how to respond appropriately to that problem.

The findings of the research, so far, are already being put into effect very well indeed, unlike important research by relevant scientists elsewhere.

All respectable political and community organisations, all around the world, work especially closely with the Proper Policy Institute, as do many quality businesses.  

Perhaps you do, too.

The Proper Policy Institute puts scientific findings into practice appropriately in order to test the political consequences.

If you wish to support the work of the Proper Policy Institute, please make an appointment to receive the first level of assessment as an enlightened world leader in the Hall of Appropriate Patronage. 

The second level of assessment takes place at the Old Adelaidezone Gateway.

Also at the Old Adelaidezone Gateway, it is possible to learn at least a little about the Secular Order of the Perpetual Wait, if you have not already done so.

The Order has long been involved in training ordinary members of the public to become enlightened world leaders.

The Twaklin Trust provides considerable support towards all the quality educational establishments in this digital district, as you may know

Various persons are always involved in enlightening the world from Enlightenment House.  You may or may not have a chance to meet them today.

If you have been writing enlightening poetry or suitably creative prose, or even quality news reports, you may have been doing so under the guidance available through the Adelaidezone Literature School.

How do you usually attempt to improve the quality of your communication, and the quality of imaginations?

Please note that the highly serious cultural institutions in this vicinity are not to be treated irreverently.  This particularly applies to the Ethereal Temple of Teapottian Truth.  

Have you ever experienced a spiritual practices there

I do, on a daily basis.

How do you define the spiritual and compare it with the moral and the imaginative?

How do you compare the spiritual with the practical?

Perhaps you usually associate spirituality with reflective practices, whether in a temple or on retreat.

Yet you may or may not be enlightened enough to equate enlightened spirituality with enlightened secularity.

You may or may not have a chance to visit the amazing Museum of Nicer Teas and Niceties today.

Where do you usually attempt to locate refreshing experiences?

How do you usually know when a story is refreshing?

Perhaps you enjoy nourishing narratives with lovely recipes included.

The Queen of Quizeen virtual restaurant, on the Social Media Quadrangle, has several extraordinary menus, with prices to match.

You may regard dining as a primary service or a secondary service, or otherwise.  

Perhaps your expectations of any experience depends on the service your prefer and the extent of your budget.

What have been your experiences of tertiary services, quaternary services and quinary services?

Do you usually encounter unusual dining experiences during stories?

Are you currently feeling hungry, thirsty, tired, hot, cold, or in need of a lavatory?

Assessing needs is an important occupation.  It requires considerable knowledge and access to the necessary resources.

Meeting needs is also an important occupation.  It, too, requires considerable knowledge and access to the necessary resources.

In the attic of this digital cottage, highly trained volunteers are helping to interpret the exhibits on display there.  You may or may not have a chance to explore the exhibits today.

While the attic of Frugality Cottage currently exhibits displays on the topic of enlightened economics, the service wing of Villa Twaklinilkawt holds a Twaklinomical archive of ethereal economics.  

You may or may not be familiar with the archive or have a chance to visit it today.

Ordinary members of the public only occasionally gain access to the Villa Twaklinilkawt tours nowadays.

You may or may not wish to find out if you are eligible to participate in a tour.

Many elegant quaternary services, with or without delicious refreshments, may be brought to you through the International Training Centre for the Harmonious Interplay of Beauty, Understanding and Magnificence, whether through Villa Twaklinilkawt or in the Tower of Truth or elsewhere.

How, if at all, have you been supporting the production of superbly brilliant Australian news, whether from the Tower of Truth or elsewhere?

The Adelaide Adagia News Ensemble is currently conducting investigations all over the Adelaidezone and all over Adelaide.  You may wish to support those investigative pursuits, if you are eligible to do so.

Perhaps you are quite interested in news stories, and possibly even the associated controversies.

You may or may not be wondering, therefore, whether you will be eligible to attend Controversy Corner today.

Have you completed many tutorials supporting the Second Age of Enlightenment recently?

What if anything have you discovered through Civility Central, and how?

If you have been seeking tertiary educational services rather than quaternary ones, you may have sought initial assistance through the Adelaidezone Information Service.

You may usually associate storytime with preschool or primary school rather than a secondary, tertiary or quaternary education.

If you have been producing videos about your experiences of authentic living, you may have been doing so under the guidance available through the Adelaidezone Media Hub or one of the other creative educational facilities in this digital vicinity.

How authentic is your civility?

How authentic is your leadership?

What is your acquaintance with the Really Quite Pleasant Australian Political Organisation and/or the Really Quite Pleasant Australian Politics Club?

They are both highly esteemed associations and currently work in close collaboration with the Civility Party of Australia, as you may be well aware.

If your civility requires an urgent upgrade, particularly for international purposes, you may wish to learn more about studying within the Suitable School of Remedial Etiquette.  

You may be seeking to learn more about the College of Needle's Eye, too, at least if you are currently eligible to study there as a potential member of the Secular Order of the Perpetual Wait.

Regardless of your current spiritual, environmental, economic, journalistic, interpersonal, scientific, artistic and political credentials, you are most likely to require advanced training through the International Political Reform School quite urgently.

All truly enlightened world leaders attempt to upgrade their understanding of necessary political reform on a daily basis.

How often do you do so, and how?

In the music room of Villa Twaklinilkawt is a cabinet containing sufficiently magnificent archival notes composed to support enlightened democracies everywhere.

The notes have been brought to the attention of real world leaders through the Mozarty Party World Peace and Global Prosperity Tour, sponsored by the International Training Centre for the Harmonious Interplay of Beauty, Understanding and Magnificence.

What do you know about experimental theatre, especially of the avant-garde yet most enlightened and accomplished variety?

Within Villa Twaklinilkawt is the small yet quite amazing Ethereal Theatre of the Twaklinesque, as you will be well aware if you have attended performances or auditions or training there.

The Villa Twaklinilkawt patrons have completed a highly advanced training course to achieve their privileged status.  You may or may not wish to find out if you are eligible to begin the training.

As you may have noticed, this narrative can only progress with your assistance.  It is, in fact, the narrative of life on Earth.

Anyone visiting the Villa Twakinilkawt archives to assist the 21st century Enlightenment will know that ongoing research and training is required in support of enlightened world leadership everywhere.

You may or may not have a chance to visit those important archives today to conduct advanced research of your own.

How do you usually conduct research to inform your decisions?

How do you usually identify your choices?

Women of some importance are enlightening the world from the vestibule to the Villa Twaklinilkawt boudoir.  You may or may not have a chance to meet them today.

Unenlightened persons are frequently involved in suppressing enlightenment, destroying lives and denigrating real world leaders.

Enlightened persons are consistently involved in encouraging enlightenment, enhancing lives and supporting the educational attainment of real world leaders.

Only suitably accomplished patrons of enlightenment are currently eligible to attend the Villa Twaklinilkawt ethereally serene salon for world peace.  

Attendance is by invitation only

Perhaps you hold a salon for world peace.

If so, who do you invite to experience it, and why?

Unlike this small and relatively sparse cottage library, Villa Twaklinilkawt contains a magnificent Twaklinological library of enlightenment, as to be expected.

You may or may not be eligible to visit it.

How do you compare libraries, whether associated with cottages, villas, colleges or governments? 

Of course, Nilkawt is not in the Adelaidezone or anywhere else associated with digital and/or physical Australia.

Nilkawt is a properly sovereign and enlightened state.  Its digital, global embassy is situated in the annex of Villa Twaklinilkawt.

Perhaps you already know something about the mission of the Official Embassy of the Ethereal Grand Duchy of Nilkawt. 

You may or may not be aware that most of the libraries and most of the archival records of Nilkawt were destroyed in the Great Fire of Nilkawt.

How do you usually assess losses?

How do you usually assess gains?

You may also wish to learn more about a Twaklinology archive associated with an Adelaidezone science studio in Villa Twaklinilkawt, if you are eligible to do so.  

That archive contains all the earliest records of the Adelaidezone and its development.  It also contains most of the initial records on the development of New Nilkawt.

At the entrance to the main gatehouse of Villa Twaklinilkawt, it was once possible to learn the latest Adelaide news quite remarkably and uncontroversially.

Now that news has become the most reliable form of contemporary, local history.

There has also long been the most remarkable Adelaide reporting from the grand hallway of the villa itself, immediately above the news vaults.

You may or may not have the chance to visit the gatehouse or the hallway or vault one or vault two at present.

You may or may not be familiar with the natural common room within the main gatehouse leading to Villa Twaklinilkawt.

If you are familiar with the Natural Common Room, you may also be familiar with another important room in the gatehouse, namely the Enlightening Adelaidezone News Observatory. 

Perhaps you have seen the view from there

You may also be quite familiar with the extraordinary observation tower in the Villa Twaklinilkawt grounds for gracious causes, and even the arts laboratory on the top floor.

Tours in and around Villa Twaklinilkawt are likely to include many surprises.

You may already have enjoyed wonderful interactions in the main parlour of Villa Twakinilkawt.  

For any visitor unfamiliar with previous discussions in the parlour meant for you, the Twaklinist archival diary notes are on display there.  You may or may not be eligible to read them.

How do you usually gain access to wonderful, and possibly even magical, experiences?
