Where being normal is abnormal

Here I am: Surrounded!
In the room next to me: an artist.
In the other room next to me: an artist.
In the room opposite: an artist.
In the room below: an artist.
And in the room above: Of course! Another bloody artist!

They sleep until lunch time and they never ever work during daylight. And they try very hard to dress in a unique way - which makes them all look alike. Every day when I come home and cross the canal and see weird stockings combined with weird skirts and weird hairdo under weird hats, I know: I'm on the artists' territory. I watch my pale, pierced flatmate watch telly and just can't help it: "S. - you study "fine arts", don't you? How come I've never seen you draw anything?" -- "No::no::, my drawing is private." I see. "I wouldn't even sho:: my tutor. When I have to hand in my sketch-book, I sellotape it so:: that he can't o::pen it!"

How clever! Dear Prof. A., here you are: my Master's Thesis. I've sellotaped it just in case you thought you could read it. Nono, sorry, but my thoughts about dear Isabel Archer are - well - private!

Before I sellotape this blog: some pictures of beautiful Co. Kerry where I spent 10 splendid days with my family.

Oh yes, very very splendid days!!! Ich wünschte, die Zeit wäre nicht so schnell dahingeeilt, wie unser Auto durch die Schlaglöcher. Wäre doch alles noch so nah, wie der Aussenspiegel an den Hindernissen!
Wer hat schon eine heilige Quelle im Garten, braunes Wasser, das geniessbar ist, rostige Autos als Aktenschrank, ein Lädelilili, das nicht geschlossen wird, Palmen im Garten, blühende Kamelien im Februar (ich sage jetzt nicht, dass auch die Rhododendren bereits blühten, die habe ich in den Ferien mehr als einmal bewundert und meine Familie damit genervt), sumpfige Wälder, die so dicht sind, dass ihnen eigentlich nichts anderes übrig bleibt, als stehen zu bleiben, einen Kerryway entlang der Küste mit Sandstränden, Tempo 80 auf engen Feldwegen, und Tempo 100 und "slow" schliessen einander nicht aus. Und dieser blaue, untypische irische Himmel, der sich extra für uns über Kerry spannte!!
Wunderschöne Fotos hast Du gemacht, Naomi. Für alle, die es interessiert: das Haus zum Schluss war unsere bescheidene Herberge.
