Dear friendslist

Where are you all gone, fellas? Have you died, fallen ill, got eaten by Real Life or migrated from LJ elsewhere? I still remember the time when one had to check LJ almost on the daily basis to keep up with the lives of one's friends. Now it seems that most of you got eaten by a big, blue space yellyfish, and nobody thought to send me the death certificates.

Come on, folks, spring starts tomorrow, rise from your tombs! The people in Romania will pin the mârtisors on their jackets (small, flower-shaped broches with colourful ribbons) to remember everyone that spring has come again. So finish the hibernation act and drop in for our very own little spring festival! I can't offer much more than a warm welcome because I am being eaten by Real Life right now, but you will be most warmly welcome, for sure!

Wow, busy! I barely managed to crawl out of bed.... Well, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but I haven't actually got anything done today, except for writing two drabbles and my daily chores to keep the fire going so that we have heat. That took all my energy. Thank goodness it's nearly bedtime. *yawns*

Most of my days are similarly busy. As I spend three days of the week almost inclusively at school, chores need to be done when I've got shorter working hours, which usually means Tuesdays or Fridays.

Sometimes I wonder how do I manage to do some writing, reading and TV-watching. Sleeping unhealthily little, except on weekends, helps, of course.

I never get enough sleep anyway.

Today is sunny and warm! I spent some time outside pruning a bit of the undergrowth in our very overgrown garden, which was enjoyable. Not much progress made, but every little bit helps. Then I tried to turn round to start clearing my tools awat, lost my balance somehow and gracefully toppled backwards into the undergrowth. Very entertaining, and thankfully I didn't land on any brambles, lol!

You lead a dangerous life, my friend! *g*

Lol!

As I said to mum after she helped me get out of the bushes, "Well, that was interesting!" The area I'm working on is a tangle of brambles, ivy and overgrown honeysuckle that's creeping along the ground for want of anything to climb up, so it was quite springy to land on but made getting up without help impossible as I couldn't get any leverage. Mum's not exactly strong, but a helping hand proved to be enough to get my feet back on the ground instead of waving about in the air!
