She is alive
1000 visits this month... and I have written nothing. That is rather odd, but thank you all the same. I apologise for being so lax (as it appears that some people find this interesting :P) and I shall make no excuses. C'est la vie and that is all I can say. I am currently trying to photomanipulate a montage style image with the worlds slowest computer outside of Granta... so this post may well be quite long as I attempt to pass the time. (I am very tempted to just print out the photos, cut and stick, scan, merge harsh edges and print again... but that would lose all the image quality so I shall make so... for the moment)
Another Christmas over... and a highly amusing one although I think most of the humour was based upon "had to be there" moments, or family history so I shan't bore you with much of it now. Only to say that conversation covered: my now sadly deceased newborn twins, which of the Pritchard brothers was most likely to be deported, how my aunnts (nearly) won the"Scene it" Friends game, THE CARPET and why Sara really needs to read her book on feminism...
Today has been less amusing... another set of pressies opened... a rather cute chick flick and now this. Cycling over to waterbeach later which will be lovely as the weather is gorgeous.Slightly chilly, but clear skies and Early March sunshine... the tulips will come up soon.... except for the fact that it is DECEMBER! .... ah
I have just realised that the birds didn't migrate/hibernate/die this year. Usually the strangest thing about winter is the silence outside my window... and not being woken at 5am by the starlings squabbing over bread lest over from last nights tea. And absolutely nothing to watch out the window of boring lessons. But at the moment I can see: 2 magpies, 2 blackbirds (male), 1 blackbird (female), a sparrow, 2 pigeons (doesn't really count) and a few others in the distance. The thrush has gone, and the finches... but otherwise everyone is here. That is slightly worrying.
And now I really really really want to go walking. Love cities up to a point, but I'd swap them for moors and mountains any day. Who wants to go to Northumbria in Febuary half term?? To let anyone who doesn't alreayd know, know... I have accepted the placement in Almaty and will spend all of next year reading, dancing, playing, teaching, walking and hopefully skiing. :D Watching this space for more excited jabbering.
But for now I actually want to finish these pictures before 3! so I shall vanish.
xXx
