Went fishing today and I actually caught something! It wasn't much
|
|
of a something so we put it back in the lake to get bigger. I was
|
|
the only one that caught anything, though, so I win. Emmi forever!
|
|
|
|
The caves below grandpa's den stretch down a clip or two but the
|
|
lake isn't so far and there's juice the whole way since this town
|
|
is mostly classy bodies that finished their service already. When
|
|
you age out of service it's pretty common here to find a den with
|
|
loads of hobbies and friends nearby, like grandpa did. I love the
|
|
parkways with proper lights too. The greenery is so lush you can
|
|
imagine you're walking surface-side through a garden. The air
|
|
feels clean and crispy too. Grandpa claims he can walk all the way
|
|
to the lake with his eyes closed by the smell of the greens.
|
|
|
|
When we skidded down to lake-level there were no other bodies. The
|
|
parkway there opens into a great dome over the water that the
|
|
'geers left raw with stalactites. They drip-drip very slowly into
|
|
the pool below with hollow echoes that you can't proper hear
|
|
unless everyone stays very still and quiet. But that's sort of
|
|
what fishing is, earnest truth. Mum talks a bit too much but but
|
|
then grandpa gives her a look. Her words dry up and the peace is
|
|
back upon us. I close my eyes and the drips are like church bells.
|
|
|
|
My head goes crazy with playdreams in the deep quiet. I don't know
|
|
what to write about that.
|
|
|
|
We made it a picnic, which is a wild word to say. Pick-Nick.
|
|
I suss it means you bring food with you where you're going, which
|
|
doesn't seem like it needs a special word at all. I bring my food
|
|
to school every day, but that's not a picnic. It's a classy word,
|
|
says mum, which at least makes sense. None of the classy old world
|
|
guz makes much sense if you ask me. Grandpa did say I should try
|
|
to use more of that in these wires to you. 'E says you might not
|
|
know about our proper talks here. I thought he was making fancy
|
|
again with the truth at first but some of the things I've read on
|
|
the QEC sound proper strange.
|
|
|
|
Anywise, Uusi Jyväskylä has been a great holiday. Grandpa's razzy
|
|
and so is his quirky little town. Even so, I'll be joyed to see my
|
|
friends again soon. I miss Ezri and Johanna fierce as damn.
