terrified
In October 2017, my mum started minding Kai (please don’t ask!) while his dad was on nights at the Women’s…I think this was Wednesdays-Sundays. Needless to say, this got me down at first because it was just like when she used to go out of a night at weekends ten years earlier. However, it wasn’t until early the following year that I started taking advantage of this, waiting until my mum had gone out before transforming into Barbara…initially as a policewoman.
Taken the same night (but don’t ask me what time) this is a stills picture (which looks as if it was taken in the 1970s), as the title suggests, I appear to be terrified…like I’ve either just seen a really disturbing public information film (and there were plenty of them back in the 1970s) or someone’s about to kill me. However, all this fun came to an end a few months later when my mum stopped minding Kai.
As for the original description, I have no idea because, two years ago on 28 March, the account I had under the name of Barbara Cortina was terminated by Flickr for violating their terms and guidelines, without a word of warning. Not only did I lose nearly 2500 photos but also their descriptions, not to mention 11-12 pages of favourites and people who I followed as Barbara Cortina. It'll take ages to build up what I have left because half the photos are gone forever.
As Barbara Cortina, I'm no longer allowed to have a Flickr account, because, apparently, I violated their terms and guidelines but did they tell me HOW I'd done that? No. Many of the photos (including most of those I took while at Haven Lodge) are gone forever because I didn't think to back them up by downloading the relevant folders - it's really fucking crushing.
Right at the end of March, the same thing happened again when another account I set up (under Barbara C this time) got terminated as well...also without warning for violating their terms and guidelines (which I never did). As a result, I lost 2447 images but this time THIRTY-ONE pages of favourites. Again, it's really fucking crushing.
