Congratulations! You do manage our hot weather better, even though it must be trying after experiencing life in the Freezer. But, however climatized you become to Australia's weather, it will only be for a short period, when in a fortnight's time, it will already be March, & the beginning of autumn. 

I wish even the delicate little Rosemary bush that needs nursing a bit more, flourishes as well as the other two that we planted today?

Shazam! The little rosemary bush flourishes so much that overnight, it becomes a huge, er, rosemarystalk reaching up to the sky. Out of curiosity, you climb it, right up into the clouds, where from above, you suddenly hear a loud "FEE, FI, FO, FUM..."  

I wish I had a garden of my own (just a nice little one will do, thanks). 

You have a little garden of your own, but unfortunately it is too small to produce anything you want it to produce.

I wish the lawn were easier to stay on top of.

And in return for what you did to my garden, your lawn is now only about 30 cm / 1 ft square, so maintenance is now extremely easy and can be done in a few minutes with just a decent pair of scissors.

I wish my favourite brand of chocolate didn't cost so much. 

It's free! But also very, very difficult to find -- you can only get it right at the source, no distribution network will take it if they aren't getting paid.

I wish I had stuck with playing guitar long enough to get good at it.

You did stick with it and are now an absolute guitar legend! But you still don't ever manage to get enough gigs to make a living professionally, so you end up giving up the guitar and going back to your day job. 

I wish I could have an unlimited supply of chocolate. 

Shazam! You do have an unlimited supply of chocolate, that is to say, only if you like a never-ending supply of chocolates with Turkish Delight centres, courtesy of imports from Calormen! Or is it rather the very finest Turkish Delight of all flavours, not only standard rosewater, but also apricot, hazel or pistachio nuts, from a very real country called Türkiye, now? From all those Turkish Delight shops in Istanbul's Grand Bazaar?  

I wish that I could finish off all the history projects I have been doing since 2023.

Ta da! You've finally finished all history projects that you've been working for the past two years! Unfortunately, in so doing, you came up with twice as many new projects to start.

I wish I could take a vacation right away.

Here's a ticket to anywhere! The only thing is, if you go within the next 239 hours, you'll lose your job, and you'll never be able to speak to two of your best friends - and you cannot pick whom.

I wish I was just as good a composer as Beethoven.

Shazam! You are now just as good a composer as Beethoven. Unfortunately, you're now also as deaf as he was.

I wish my new mortgage could be instantly paid off in full. 

Done. A private investor paid it in full, for free, no questions, sign here. Unfortunately, that document you just signed indicated, on the very last page, in 7 pt. print, that the house legally belongs to him in three months.

I wish I could write all the books I think of, just as well as CS Lewis or Tolkien.

Hey Presto! You can write all the books you can think of, just as well as C.S. Lewis or Tolkien. Unfortunately, book publication is a real worry, when something like 99% of new books end up in a cupboard somewhere, in half-price remaindered book sales, and often vanish without a trace, even without bad book reviews and other people who want to ban them for one reason or the other. 

I wish that I still was young enough to go back to my old job as a librarian, maybe part-time? 

Whoosh - Your wish is granted! You are just the right age to get back to being a librarian, and guess what? It's part time. The only thing is, it's a new boss, and he'll drive you mad with inspections, meetings, random phone calls and long conversations about how much he hates his ginger cat, etc. etc. etc. until you wish you were too old to hear good... maybe then he'd leave you alone. As it stands, there's no time to enjoy the smell of books, or the feel of history.

I wish I was better at tennis - nothing special, just better.

Hooray! You do, indeed, get to be better at tennis. Unfortunately, the people who play tennis with you socially, also get better at playing tennis, which leaves your improvement at tennis, barely noticeable, until a newcomer comes along to highlight how much all of you have improved. 

I wish that I could read faster, to get through all the books I'd like to read. 

You will indeed be able to consume your entire library and then some, but you will not remember any of it.

I wish that I could turn invisible.
