I am quite annoyed, at myself, this seems to be a frequent occurrence lately.
Lichen deserves it's own post entirely, but I have been just a bit keen for it, since well... forever. What I am going on about is that, this evening there was a wild plant & fungus survey going down. It is a once in a blue full moon occasion, and last time I was here I missed it also.
It would seem a slight change in the tides has occurred in light of the move back to my parent's for summer. All the brilliant 'good' habit's I'd managed to get myself into... well, they seem to have vanished, along with the surroundings.
It is possible I do thing's quite routinely, the wee thing's anyway, just so those things are all in order and I can fathom the more important things, like uni work, money, other shibazzle.
Point being; It take's me a while to adapt to these new semi-familiar surroundings.
The pace of life is slower, thing's take time to come around, harvest is the hot topic, trips to town must be negotiated, a handful of friends can be caught an hour away... sometime's I feel like I have gone in a time machine.
I am not complaining, I find this place magical, I feel spoiled by it's beauty, it's just strange, trying to adjust. Living with my parent's has been good, not unbearable, it is mostly due to my own frame of mind if there are any less bearable moments.
I guess I have also been spoiled by activity living somewhere larger, with brilliant friends, who are there, to bounce idea's off, have a jam, make some jam.. no I mean cake- I haven't mastered jam yet.
Its not something new, uncommon, but isn't it really strange? Not what happens to my brain, but the whole nomadic-ish lifestyle student's lead, living in one place for most of a year and then in another place for a good quarter of the rest.
This is all written a bit haywire-y, just finding it awkward to align those thought's.
I had a plan this evening, even questions I was eager to ask, but I missed it, I missed the bloody lichen walk.
To cheer myself up, to follow are some scrumptious images (not at all a boast about my amateur photography skills, rather talking about the beauutiful life living on life).
