another quickie. availing myself of the only public internet in town, courtesy of Cafe con Leche, a lovely laid back cafe which boasts fine fine baked goods (apple cake with choc chips, for eg) but, strangely, is also workplace of the only grumpy person we've ever met here!
P is at a pottery class - we signed her up for four weeks while we're here so she can meet some other kids and so that we can shop for christmas treats without prying eyes. When we dropped her there, the manager from the B&B where we stayed the first couple of nights was there waiting to see her - with camera in hand! And the big sister of one of the other students told us how great p did in the ballet class on monday evening - where we signed her up for two lessons before christmas and she was invited to the dance school's christmas party. P acts like she's been in this tiny town (Apalachicola, fl) her whole life, and has way better social skills than either of her parents.

It's not you. It's them. Absolutely. Them.
About Me
- Name: dodo
- Location: London, United Kingdom
Recently reclaimed by PR industry after more recent background in lobbying and, before that, business journalism. From London and working part time in city but living in sticks. Trying not to pass on to my daughter all that my mother kindly left me. Raging against inevitability. Getting better at it. or not. NEED to rewrite this to say i'm not working at the moment and that there's all kinds of neds stuff going on, but to do that seems really official and final, so a postscript will have to do.

ballet and pottery and treats. this is all sounding most fabulous.
Oh du, froliche! that's all i'm saying
You seem like a nice person, but your ability to see past a person who may seem "grumpy" amazes me. Most people are not grumpy all the time....and maybe, just maybe they may be having a bad day. Maybe their pet died or is very sick. Maybe someone in their family is in trouble. Maybe the meds aren't working for them. Don't be so quick to judge another....unless you have looked at yourself thoroughly and can find no faults....Merry Christmas
