i know - it's nearly 2... where does the time go... ok, so i know i should be in bed, and actually intended an early(ish) night tonight ahead of a full day tomorrow, but...well, i got to doing some stuff with my mum (statement for insurance, after some idiot hit her car with a van, and dragged off the bumper, then didn't even stop!!), so didn't have dinner til late, so sat down and got online. got minorly involved in a debate over racism - institutional - - - - - I'd written two more paragraphs, and uploaded 6 photos when the computer crashed. i now don't even remember most of what i'd written. and it took about half an hour to upload the photos anyway, so not starting that again. sorry. what started as a nice happy-despite-tiredness blog is now just a bit of a blip instead. i may attempt it again tomorrow. for now, i can't be bothered. going to bed to dream of unnecessarily violent responses to the next talk talk operative on the street who offers...
Where are all these taken from? I want commentary!
ReplyDeleteOK, commentary you shall have:
ReplyDelete1. Picture of Zainab (my sister) on the coach home from Portsmouth, back when we both lived down there. I think she was asleep at this point.
2. This was my flat (bedsit) in Portsmouth. I loved that place - it was tiny, but I took it because of the windows on three sides - it was gorgeous waking up late on a Sunday and lazing in the sun (I think I possibly did this about three times when I was there, due to a combination of hardly ever being there at weekends, there never being any sun, and being very bad at lazing in bed).
3. This is a tree that I used to spend ages staring/day-dreaming at out of the window of my office/clinic in Portsmouth. I love trees.
4. & 5. Fields, snapped from trains, probably both somewhere between Portsmouth & London.
6. Dust motes in sunlight coming through the window behind the fish tank at home.
7. Hikmah (my niece) asleep in the sunbeams, with her funky boot-slippers, and a stuffed dog (Alexis De Los Flamencos) that I was given as a birthday present by fellow Erasmus students in Belgium.
