Week Twenty Six
I think I went I bit over the top with this pic but no matter. Sometimes subtlety is the best option but that is something I have yet to master. It looks overdone unfortunately. A snap of the kids ready for school (and nursery) with their Santa hats on. Why they go to school this week is beyond me because all they are doing is watching DVDs and with conditions very bad today, ice, its silly to ask parents to take them and pick them up. Aside from the pic I have been mostly bothered by this bloody melancholy again. Its just adrenaline. Too much unspent adrenaline. Sure I can see that but its a constant battle to convince myself- often a losing one.
It was there last week of school which is good and bad. It means I don't have to get up so early. It means the kids are indoors all long day long bored and agitated. A long holiday period ahead.
OK, I cheated sort of. It is Christmas Eve but taken technically on Christmas day- the clock is a give away. But it took that long to assemble everything and with the prospect of an early rise we really should be in bed early too but it was a late night. We will regreted it in the morning. They are very lucky kids. Very lucky that their mum spent so much time wrapping for a start. Lots of present and more to come from relatives. So much expense.
And lastly something a bit different moving away from the Christmas theme. This time of year there is mostly going to be low light, high ISO, grainy, blurry photos. Trees from a walk I had. Added sepia and some soft focus seemed to give it a little more haunted look- to me anyway. If I could be arsed I could have added a texture or two. But really I can't be at the moment. Just want to get Christmas over with then deal with being alone for the majority of it.
Infection still slowly clearing up and the walks still picking up a little. The latter will change though. Either kids at home all day or being alone I will walk less.
