Routine

Life seems is slowly sinking back into a normal way of thinking and happening unlike my bike’s wheels into fresh snow. Although what the wheels do is normal in the deep snow but in no way I can describe their act as comfortable. I try to tell I know of some guy who got famous for staying on top of water, walking on it and maybe he could be a positive role model for keeping those wheels on top of the snow. Unfortunately I came to realise that no bike should be underestimated for I was told then how that story ended with the guy famous and all. It is an unexpected turn of technocracy in the wholly scriptures on my opinion. It is raising concerns amongst friends and foes, dragons and cats that I try to communicate with anything in any manner. But is not everything the same things? From whatever viewpoint one seeks perception?
Tobi kept out of my way for the last couple of weeks. The two dragons in fact kept out of everyone’s way pretty much. They got in some books form the library such us ‘How to raise a fire breathing hatchling’, ‘You and your baby Dragon’ and ‘ten way to avoid burning down the neighbourhood’.
PANIC
I tried to talk them out from getting any books. Books can be terribly dangerous.
I think when the newbie has cracked the egg they are moving out. Elena already has been away to look for a nice quiet area with lots of water and some caves. It might be some time before they will be back for a visit which is a fantastic disappointment for all of us but they have grown to like Oulu. Hence the going away for a while.
I mentioned already life is nicely back into some routine. It’s really pleasurable. When I have time in the afternoon, this has happened twice this week; I end up at uni after work, have a cup of something and jump into the library. After the cup of something a quick stop at the toilet and an argument with the automatic paper towel dispenser. Just keeps insisting on us getting that paper even if our hands, paws and feet can get any drier. Our regular desk always waits for us neat and tidy. I think library goers know their place. I like it this way. Good to have a dragon on you.
Lili has been asking lots of interesting questions lately. I suspect she might be suspecting some things. She asked for example how Moses came to stay with us. So we told the truth; an old bear who grown tired of travelling, always on his own eventually wanted to settle a bit and when he heard that we were going to have a baby, about 5 years ago he moved in.
Realising that Moses finds her really special Lili realised that Moses is really special to her as well and recently begun taking good care of him. Although he sleeps through most of the days this time of the year she drags him about a lot not letting him out of her site. Now he has a nice and cosy hanging bed on the bottom shelf of our coat hanging and boot dumping entrance hall. The shelf used to host Lili’s jumpers and overall warm suit. We are still trying to find a more convenient way to store them than trying to avoid their hitting the ground under the wet shoes and boots.
Today Moses went to Day Care with Lili and the Seahorse. He slept a lot but he got up to play a bit. At home he got up again, sat on the egg for a wee while when the parents to be, went out for a cosy walk in the minus ten and when they came back Tobi let him to have some of his pizza. He was in a good mood so we could have pizza for dinner as well. Then Moses went back to sleep.
It’s a devastating cold winter in Hungary with temperature around minus ten for long stretches. At some point a week or 2 back it was down to minus 18 on some parts. Here the minus 10 is actually cosy.
Geography is always a fascinating subject but not if too many details are getting into it.
Tobi and I found a wonderful book. It’s for kids I think. We found it in the Children’s section but a pretty good read otherwise. It’s a story from Finland from a time when it didn’t exist yet. About 6000 years ago. I’m trying to get it in Hungarian so I can read it to Lili but a bit of a challenge. It’s called Wolf Brother. Elena keeps telling us that it isn’t an actual biography, it’s a made up story. We think her words are nonsense. I cannot understand how she can be so rude. How can she prove?
Yeah, and everyone is ever so excited about politics! A week ago and before I used to get an email from Avaz to do something about Gaza. Click 5 times and type my name and email in to take action. Not a word now on that topic now. But everyone is looking at the west. I hope I will not have to see crushed dreams. And yes, I am a scarecrow. No I am not a scarecrow. Scaremonger? Something like that
Politics make us sick. So I prefer stories of life and death from 6000years back. It’s easy to imagine that I am reading a fiction
