What's happening in your world?

[Farseer]

Why is it that whenever anyone asks that question I instantly forget everything interesting that happened?

It really was mostly visiting relatives, which was interesting to me, but probably not to you.

Had you met them face-to-face prior to your trip?

I did go skiing in Sweden (my first time ever!), and went to the ballet in Warsaw.

Was it your first time skiiing, or your first time skiing in Sweden? I only went ice-skating for the first time last year (in the tropical north of Townsville, would you believe?!) and found it heaps of fun. One day, I may progress to skiing! Sweden conjures up all sorts of images of beauty and freshness for me...

I also think it would be an amazing experience to attend a ballet, especially in such a setting as Warsaw.

I see you decided not to go on your trip Farseer. That's a shame. Perhaps in a couple of years then. There's nothing quite like an overseas trip to open your eyes and put a spring in your step.

Oh, I still have a trip to Ireland to make next year sometime! It was only the Gallipoli trip that I've had to put on hold.

What's happening in my world? My daughter picked up a chook feather and stood there with it for a moment before she said, "I think I may make that my new motto - For every stroke of a feather, a cut to the throat."
I was like ..."What do you mean?"
"Well, you know," she said, "Things aren't always what they seem and for every good thing there's a bad thing, or a thing you have to watch out for."

So profound, and truly out of the mouth of a babe!
