As its the first day of the holidays I've got round to the usual things you do in days off, hover, sow buttons on cardigans (yes thats right CARDIGANS!) check how my gardening attempts have been going (so far soil but its got grass seed on it, no grass just seed but its a start)
oh and getting rather impatient for the new series of Doctor who to start, not helped by the BBC repeating the first minute over and over like some sort of...well time loop anyway Saturday roll on quick.
Now to something actually important.
When T.O.H and I came back from Japan allllllll that time ago we passed through Mongolia on the transiberian express. My time in Mongolia became (for me anyway) one of the highlights of the trip, not just because it was so different from our other experiences both in Japan and travelling back but also because of the friendlyness of its people, a large number of whom still live in traditional tents herding animals. We were so well treated by the camel hurders, our guide and the staff at the area we stayed in, and I wont forget my time huddled in blankets watching the sun rise over mountains. Sadly the country has suffered one of its hardest winters in years which has resulted in terrible hardship for its animal herders who already struggle as it is.
This BBC report explains it far better than I
Anyway to find more information about all the work The Red Cross do both generally and for people in Mongolia and a location for those who might want to donate I think you can use the website here
Right back to work, currently planning on cooking rabbit this week..it is easter after all
