In the Sand

Hello!

This day seemed so long, but it was pretty nice.   My mum took Julie out shopping, and they went to dinner.  That's kind of good because they have been fighting so much lately.   I think this was my mum's way of trying to make peace between them.   I'm not sure if it worked really.    Well, they didn't come out yelling at each other, so that's good.  But it's not like they came home acting like best friends.   My mum went into the kitchen and read a magazine.   Julia locked herself in her room.

While they were away, my dad and I went out to the beach to watch the sunset.  You're going to laugh, but guess what we did together.   We built a sandcastle!  It made me feel like I was six-years-old.   I had fun though.

I wanted to wade in the water a bit, but there were jellyfish on the beach.   My mum says if they're on the beach, they're also in the water.    I put my hands in a bit just to fill the buckets with water.   That's about it.  I wouldn't want to get stung.

Back to the sandcastle....

When we were building it, there was this moment where I felt really really happy.   I almost liked the idea of moving here.   But then I felt sad and the happiness faded away.    I guess what bothers me is that...well, we've kind of been kicked out of London.   That's different from leaving out of your own free will.    I mean I know no one forced us to go.   We left by choice.   But we left because my parents felt that if we didn't we'd be in danger.

This is very stupid, but sometimes I feel the whole country rejected us and spit us out.   I know that's not true.   I know there's just a few very evil prejudice people, but....

Oh never mind.   I can't explain it.

Anyway, besides my silly thoughts the day was nice.

I hope all of you are okay.   I hope you're eating well and staying out of danger.   I know you're in the middle of a war, but I hope you have some happy moments anyway.  

Good night.
