Feeling meaningless today and kinda mean, not so keen. Took a while to
wake up, which I did out in the snow because it had snowed in the night
and the thing to do when there is snow is go outside and walk about and
play with it a bit. Which we did. It took about 20 minutes in the cold
to wake up enough to enjoy it. This was after trying to roll snowballs
which didn't work so well because the snow wouldn't stick to itself.
Although it was crunchy underfoot, that satisfying grinding snow sound,
it was too powdery to stick to its own ball(s). Farid was out on the
south lawn making some kind of snow crop circles into a mountain. I put
what ball I had on top of his mountain. Jerome was on his way to work
and Dagmar was making huge bubbles out of her window on the first floor
of the school. Then I was awake more and we walked around the grove. I
liked pulling branches back making them lose some snow and making
snowfall again. Rabbit tracks in the snow and cold looking spring
flowers. Then, back home, I showered with one of the new shower
smoothies and went back to bed and slept till lunchtime. By then it was
a proper spring day and the snow was 3/4 melted, dripping off the trees
as I walked to the school. I sat outside with Christophe and Francisco
who talked about LPG engines. After, Christophe told me border
crossings go much smoother if you drive an estate. Sensible,
trustworthy people drive estates. In the afternoon I don't know what I
did. Felt meaningless and did meaningless things on the internet I
guess. Oh, uploaded some photos to flickr. Watched the video in the
last post which gave a little meaning, took an afternoon walk round the
Inwoods loop and then listened to the first half of Russell Brand's
show from last night. Funny and probably offensive bit about 'tit
milk'. Right now we are about to watch 2 Days in Paris. Except Caroline
is putting out her homemade lanterns first.
