It had lots of the sort of wild parkland that kids love
and some cultivated parts that were equally fun. I think someone's been cheating in this maze.
There was also a small zoo with the sorts of animals that kids enjoy watching. But, as if to emphasize the secrecy of the place, MI5 seemed to have posted some mysterious code messages around the place.
I wonder what it means.
Since spending a couple of days with the kids, I have been fighting to throw off an incipient cold. Why is it that kids are so contagious, yet seem not to get so ill themselves? Anyway, I'm trying to walk it off. Tomorrow I go on my third 10 mile walk this week.
That should knock any germs on the head.
Parakeets usually are green in the wild but I like the blue mutations better. Now I want one again. I haven't had one since I kept them in my classroom. Then for the holidays I would draw a name (student who had parent's permission) to take them home to look after. I used to set them free in the afternoons during art and music. They would sing along with us and also screeched each morning during the singing of O Canada, amusing us all. It was a great way to start the day. They were easy to catch and put back in their cage before opening the doors to release the students.
