Just Me!! The Butterfly effect

I have had a lovely day off, the weather is beautiful, and it is even warm, though the breeze is a bit chilly.

I went to the laundrette, and then studied some, got a wee bit frustrated at trying to obtain past exam papers, but sorted it and they are on their way.

The part of the day that has left me musing is when I went into town. Now I know I am a tad old fashioned in some respects, I like to be wined and dined, I dont give out my phone number to people I have hardly spoken to, all that kind of stuff.

I thought I was failry open minded when it came to Children and how people raise them. After all I am no expert, sure I have raised three but all children are different and times change.

But, I was appalled at what I saw in town. It is the Easter Holidays, and the town is full of kids, that was to be expected. And at least 70% of those kids were unaccompanied by Adults!

I am not talking teenagers, I am talking from three up, two children the two eldest themselves no more than eight to ten dragging along a child that was no more than three! Groups of eight and nine year olds, wandering the centre.

Am I wrong to think this is wrong? That place is an absolute Haven for Paedophiles, and we do have them, I know of at least two that live not far from town. Since when did it become the doine thing to let little children wander around town on their own?

Or am I too fussy and old fashioned?

After living for over four years in the flat, being able to now watch the trees blossom with the new leaves of spring first hand, instead of having to take the walk to the woods to do it has been awesome.

From the first tiny bud, to the shoot, to the unfurling leaf. Though it is not finished yet as the leaf has yet to grow in size, but it has been nice watching the trees in the street go from bare branches to once again being covered in life. And as the leaves are blooming, the birds are returning and building thier nests.

The sunrise was as beautiful as ever, streaking the clear blue sky with varying shades of pink, at one point the whole horizon was pink fading into the blue. These mornings seem to make you feel so alive! Fresh and crisp as they are,and it seems so much lighter earlier, soon the May blossom will be blooming to challenge the pretty colours of the sky.

And I have the day off today, I was going to go into work anyway as there is so much to do, but I changed my mind, after all I am working all over Easter.

An extra day to study, and to have a bit of me time.

Hope everyone else has a good day
