i taught mikael to float (to go into detail would take an insane amount of paragraphs so ill just be brief)
we tried, he freaked, i explained, he calmly agreed, we tried, he freaked (multiply this a few times) then i ended up hanging my head saying
"mate. you have bags of air on your arms. you are holding onto a pool noodle. this pool is waist deep mate you are not going to drown"
to which he seemed to see the light and agreed to try and float. after 2 seconds he was laughing his head off like a maniac
"mum! IM FLOATING!"
all the exasperation just totally left me and i couldnt help but laugh. it took another 20 seconds to get him to let go of me but we have a start. now its hard to get him out of it. i am going to have to organise shade of some sort. maybe one of those triangle shade sail things.
our peach tree split in half on the weekend (im thinking its lack of water) so we have been left with masses of nearly ripe bruised fruit. last year they were amazingly sweet and it would be such a shame if we dont get any this year. any suggestions for what to do with them people? i have never stewed or jammed anything in my life.
im starting to get a bit worried about my tafe this year. we really need to get out of this place and its so damn hard at the moment. i cant see how its going to work really with all the travel. i have thought about it over and over, all my different options and its all just blending in my head into an incoherable mess. goddamn.
i took this last night. doesnt the cloud looks like a sea horse..
