The Living Years

Baby got back

I'm back!

I'm sure there are many reasons why I failed to blip regularly and so gave up. This time I will try not to let things get in the way. Firstly wanting to write a lot. As they say a picture is worth a thousand words. I had so much to back blipping to do but when my laptop followed by external hard drive both died, I never got to do that. The last straw was my beautiful baby Nikon had an accident and is still out of use. I didn't want to blip bad photos, as ibob is just not the same. Having said that I felt today a rubbish photo everyday from the last few months would have been better than nothing.

So here goes.

It's been quite a day.

It was extra an lesson for students who will take the school entrance exam. Even though I resented having to go to school on Saturday morning I felt a little bit of pride. It was the first time I had been given the responsibility to run one of these sessions alone. I know it's crazy, there were only 3 students, nobody else would have wanted to do it and I already represent the school everyday. But I still get a kick when they trust me to do what I do. Ok sounds even crazier when it's written down.

Then it was to N and P's for pancakes, dubbed csi with cute dead man watching his funeral while the sunset and good company. Also discovered a new pancake filling, coconut and hot chocolate powder. It tastes just like bounty. Also got to try red walnuts. They taste the same but look stunning.

A long but beautiful bus journey to L's. I love snow and the countryside looked incredible. Miles and miles of white.

L turned up to meet me in what can only be described as an 80s tellitubby. An all in one, multi coloured ski suit. I didn't know wether to laugh or cry. I'm still a little bit lost for words. It's an incredibly unattractive mental image, I don't think I'll ever forget. Especially how it was really tight on the bum area!

After dinner we went for a walk that left me in tears. We saw a rabbit on the street and as we got closer and closer it didn't run away. It wasn't a wild rabbit but unfortunately here that doesn't equal little girl's spoilt bunny it means it's for the pot. L wanted to take it home but that meant it would get killed and eaten by his family. The chance of it surviving out tonight (it's -20) is also slim. I didn't know what to do. First I got l to pick it up and we headed towards the woods to let it free. Then realising it would die there too, I didn't know what to do. We left it where we found it and I'd rather forget it ever happened.

Or that a little girl did find it. That it's warm, having cuddles and secretly loving the pink ribbon it's wearing. Sweet dreams.
