Optimistic beginnings

Personality piece: outside dull and prickly, inside filled with hope and vitality.

Day 118

16th February 2011

Arrived in the UK last night to rain, not surprising for February really but quite disappointing after a few days of crisp but dry days in France! Stayed over at Mum and Dad's last night to save us driving back to the West that evening and managed to fit in a wonder round Dad's garden checking for signs of spring before we headed back home.

Dad always has these carpets of snowdrops under the Magnolia in his garden, so pretty and uplifting when they arrive! Makes you feel so happy!

Then I remember that the arrival of Spring means that we're now in the season that baby number 2 is going to arrive in, which quite frankly freaks me out. LOL

I always think of geese as a herald of changing seasons.

ok, he's the biggest grass hopper Ive ever seen!

That is my hand behind him. He was a good 5 inches long!

Bella shows a little interest in my dangling lens cap.

smiling every single second gives you more things to look up to. Optimism is the key to every problem. :)

Optimistic Geometry specializes in creating various copies of weapons for cosplay - but it's not just repainted nerf-ganes. This is different in that it "works". No, it is not equipped with bullets, does not shoot with lasers or plasma, but the mechanical parts move, light up and fold. Just
