Snap shots of the day.

I almost forgot to write this today, but on my way to work I was writing it in my head, for I kept seeing things that I wanted to share (one day an electric chip will automatically record these thoughts and I will just download them onto the blog), but in the meantime I have to recall them to the end of the day. First two huge crows sat on the wall like Peter and Paul looking out over the frozen valley and just chatting to each other.   I guess it was the only place without ice all over it. They just had so much character I tried taking their pictures but rotters flew off. Then there was the man, who almost looked like he was cuddling a sheep who was carrying said sheep across the road and the expression on both their faces as they snuggled up to each other was a sheer delight, sheep sort of saying well this is a bit of a laugh, making him carry me. I have a feeling that sheep was not happy for long however.  More sinister feeling therefore was the sight of about four men crouched over a stripped body.  Stripped of its skin that is. The legs stuck in the air reminded me of a woman giving birth, but this was someone's dinner being prepared.  Not a sheep this time, but I guess a bull or a cow.  Or the bird, delighting in the puddle round a burst water main the one bit of unfrozen water in the area. The woman, umbrella up ( I wonder where mine is) against the steadily falling snow wearing elegant high heels but somehow not slipping at all. I would have liked to have taken pictures of all of these things but I was either not fast enough or too discrete.  Anyway it seemed a fun day today, puppets and dancing and a bit of teaching. Tomorrow was supposed to be my colleagues day, presenting all the work the children have been doing over the term.  Instead she has to go to Bishkek and do some training!  So I am not the only one who gets affected by last minute decisions. It means we will be down two members of staff tomorrow Anyway it is almost 5 in the UK according to my computer so definitely time for bed.   How is it I can spend the whole evening doing things on the computer but sadly it seems I can.
