Enemies and Anemones

Dear Reade,

This morning The Boy was talking about interrelationships between different creatures as he's learned them from Apple-O (Sir David Attenborough). The conversation today centred around a crab and a sea anemone that work together.

"An octopus wants to eat the crab. So the crab loosens the predator from the ground and lifts it on to his back (here there is a motioning of how it happens). Then the predator stings the octopus if it comes near."

For a moment I was baffled. Then I remembered the anemone (which to our boy's ears must sound like enemy) and we were able to carry on the conversation. I am amazed by the human brain and its ability to play in the realm of language. I am in love with the fact that our boy has enemy and predator as synonyms in his brain when he's talking about the animal world.

Love, Jenn

Late getting home

Dear Jenn.
So I'm a bit later than you expected but since I came at 10 and had lunch I should have left at 4. I lost track of a bit of time and now it's after 4 and I'm waiting for the bus.
I did try to eat at my desk but I was clumsy or something today so I kept spilling. I decided to take a break for lunch and it was just Linda and me in the office so I spent lunch with her in the training room. Ah well.
I'm not sure what times i'll go to work next week maybe Tuesday and Wednesday so I'm done sooner in the week. There's something happening at work on Wednesday anyway that I should go to. MLT is coming in to discuss "Issues of Incorporation" with us. Could be quite useful.

I took a brand new bus this morning. It had that "new bus smell" of plastic and glue out gassing. I think my IQ dropped a few points while trapped in there. However, it did look quite tidy and new and it has a cupboard or something about 2 meters behind the drivers seat. I sat in the single seat between them. I can't figure out what the closet thing could be for.

Well I'm at Golden Mile so i'll have to stop for now.

Decaf?

Dear Reade,

I went out with a friend this evening. Ordered what I thought was a decaf mocha.

I am pretty sure that it wasn't.

Ask me how I know?

Okay don't. That's rather silly isn't it.

I do not think I am going to be happy when morning happens again.

Love, Jenn
