Nice weather today. Warm and breezy. Shall I do homework or just be lazy? Well, the usual answer is, first I'll study, then I'll be lazy. Or first I'll study, then I'll clean house. If there's any time left. Or first I'll study, then I'll make some apple bread. Which I haven't done. Or first I'll study, then I'll do mending or play the violin or do something interesting or fun. Which means I don't do much of anything that's interesting or fun. Except study, which sometimes is interesting, and is fun when I realize I actually learned something. At some point I'll say, Maspeek!!! Enough!!! But I've got too far to go to say that now.
Today is an exception, since I haven't posted in a while. First I'll post, then I'll fix supper, then I'll study. If I can stay awake long enough.
"A common mistake people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools."--Douglas Adams, whoever that is. (Google him..)
The Irish in me gets a good chuckle out of this one:
"We have always found the Irish a bit odd. They refuse to be English."
--Winston Churchill
The English in me just takes another sip of tea.
There are lots of sights to see here if we ever get around to them, but for now I am quite happy with the ones we have seen and I put this picture on my desktop.
I'm looking forward to coming home. It'll be fun to see everyone. And fun to drive my own car and I'll have to buy some shoes and run around and do this and that and find out what I'm missing and then tear myself away and that'll be hard but oh well at least life isn't boring. Well, boring if you study all day, but not boring when you think about being here today and there tomorrow and nothing goes according to plan, well not my plan anyway, so there's no such thing as settling down and getting comfortable which may not be a good idea anyway, and when you write posts you don't have to worry about run-ons and dangling modifiers and you can just run-on and dangle anywhere you want. All that being easier when the weather is good and it's warm and sunny and your feet don't hurt for the moment and there's no deadlines you have to meet except the ones you make for yourself which you can miss as often as you feel like. And if you don't feel like it you can drive yourself crazy but what's the point, except when you have OCD that IS the point. It might be fun to work a jigsaw puzzle with Elijah. Well, I'd better go. Yellala, bye! (That's what they say here.)
