Deeper into Shed Space.

As we travel deeper into shed space Earthly reality disappears behind us. The fixed knowns of our world can no longer be relied on. Substances that appear brick like are in fact rectangular impenetrable force fields that defeat even diamond tipped masonry drills. What seems like mortar reacts like table salt when touched. When I rendered what appeared to be a wall small alien beings emerged like slimy rubber peas. I later identified them as, what on Earth would be termed slugs. Wood, which on Earth is a substantial fibrous material here becomes crumbly when observed rather like Shrodinger’s cat. The ceiling of shed space remains white but emits flakes continually and so appears to be a self replenishing substance that, though it appears to be there, is, when one approaches it, merely a bouncy apparition. Also time in shed space is slowed down. The smallest job seems to take forever as one stumbles amongst this weirdness trying to find substances that react like those on Earth. Even outside, what appears to be a drain is not a drain. It is full of dark matter, the substance that apparently accounts for the majority of the mass of the universe, and sure enough when I explored further I found a black hole. Yes it’s all weird out here. Why for example does Professor Brian Cox know everything about space and yet appear only eighteen years old? No, science and DIY just don’t work like they do on Earth in shed space.
