One of
my classmates from Japanese class, Sonaka from Thailand, brought a bag of plums
to share with the class. Another classmate, Jamie, ate her plum
when she received it. I smelled my plum
then put it in my bag to eat at lunch. I should have been like Jamie because
later I found my plum smashed in the bag, making a mess.
This reminded
me of a month long backpacking trip I took years ago in Wyoming. About half-way through the trip, a horse
packer brought us out a re-ration bag of food that we had packed before
starting out on the trip. In our
re-ration was a big bag of peanut M&Ms.
My friend and I divided our bag of M&M and she ate all of hers on
the spot. I ate a few of mine and put
the rest in a bag in my pack. My plan
was to eat a few each day and make them last the rest of the trip. When we got up the next morning I saw that an
animal had been in my pack and had chewed through the bag and eaten all of my
peanut M&Ms.
The
lesson of the story is that if you don’t do it now, it may not be there later.
Very little Kingfisher progress
I’ve
been working on the gold twist that outlines some of the leaves.

I did laugh to myself about the M&Ms! Rather disappointing I should think.
The kingfisher is coming along we'll. Isn't it amazing how the small touches of colour really lift the piece.
Hope you both have. A great weekend.
