Young children don't need toys and technology to learn; they acquire knowledge through observing and being in nature, and allowing free run of their imagination.
I postulate that we adults, who have been trained out of this means of educating ourselves, could benefit by letting our wild spirit run free.
The school I was in was freezing and I left with my feet as blocks of ice, but I had a warm fire and a down blanket to come home to.
I usually dread sharing circles to open meetings (introvert), but today’s was fun, lots of laughs.
A cozy mystery I had on hold came in at the library. Now I can shake off the TV binge and get back into reading. I enjoy The Thursday Murder Club series, especially for the characters. #3GoodThings#Thursday
I had a busy morning and am finally sitting down at my computer for the first time. Had to run around and dig some test pits to check on some groundwater. The glamorous life of an environmental engineer.
I am thankful for my job and the unique experiences it presents.
Here is how I started my #Thursday at 5:00 AM. I've never been up here before. Kinda like the last frontier of my inside territory. Gotta say, kinda anticlimactic. #TuxieGirl#Betty#Cats
Sales have been super slow in February compared to January so I was happy to see three books sold this morning. (yes I put D2D on block site so I would stop refreshing sales reports but apparently that did not work) #Watermyth
My favourite shanghai noodles and salt-roasted chicken from a teenhood favourite restaurant. 🤤
Good fuckin’ morning! Our #Citroen has decided to be a french car again and thrown an error code in the middle of a major intersection. Stopped the engine and tried to start it again, but it’s not getting any fuel. Nice people pushed the car with us, so we could park it and get to school with a public transportation.
The car is now in the garage, but the winter break is near, so we probably won’t see it for another 2 weeks.
#Cycling hard mode on for the kids, because the weather is shit…🤡
In my angry attempt to put towing hook in I obviously hurt my hand and had to do a fair bit of pushing this 1,5t pile of garbage myself. In 0°C. So now my arms and back are sore. Happy #Thursday! #Citroen#Cycling
Today's #Thursday. Today's also the day I receive my Komplete Kontrol S61 MK3. It could go very very wrong. It's also utterly, absolutely, unequivocally pissing down with rain.
We had a lot of hot topics in #writingprompts in Januray, from people writing outside their specific perspective to themes specific to our work, and scenes we're proud of. Plus, a lot of people shared their blogs and their goals. For #WordWeavers, #PennedPossibilities, and #WritersCoffeeClub, I answered a lot of prompts for my #mystery and #scifi WIPs in this first #blogpost of the month!
Should not have been a busy morning, but it happens. And this evening after work I'm piling up the family into the car to visit my siblings / parents for a surprise party for my brother.
I am thankful for my family, both local and extended.
G’day tooting friends. I feel like I’ve hardly been online today - maybe because I haven’t 😁. Vinnies day today but didn’t last more than a couple of hours before I started to feel my back, still got a few things done that needed doing.
I had a phone call from a friend today. She asked if I wanted to help her clean a house for a friend of hers who is selling it, cash in hand. She’s now not very happy with me for saying I didn’t want to! Part of my reasoning is cleaning a whole house for sale is damned hard work & I considered my back & my leg & the fact I really don’t care about money even though yes - it would be nice. It takes me twice as long to clean my own place nowadays. She doesn’t seem to understand & thinks I should want to do it anyway 🤷🏼♀️.
Apart from that little issue - I’ve quite enjoyed my day. #Thursday#Vinnies
The flower of a banana tree. The pendant is at the bottom of the stalk which holds the bananas. The upper part is the inside of a petal on the way to being shed.
