Thursday Journal with Neet

 The words this week are 'The answer is always no'. For my theme on Art Journal Journey this month my journal page today the scene is set on the beach with Alice in charge of her little sister Faith and her very naughty small brother Alfie. All Alice wants is to lie on the beach and sun bathe and take life easy. She did realise that might not be easy with those two to look after as they didn't seem to want to collect shells or paddle in the sea. " Can we go scuba diving" asked Alfie, "we have always wanted to do that, we could just pop to the shops and buy the proper gear" "No, absolutely not, you are too young and have no idea what to do" replied Alice. "Well can we fetch the cat and teach  her to swim in the sea then" asked Faith "No" said Alice, find something sensible to do for goodness sake. "It's not fair, the answer is always No" replied Faith. With that they both stormed off down the beach to look for interesting things they could make something with.

 The words this week are 'Everything is better when you decide you don't care.' As this has to tie in with my theme on Art Journal Journey which is On, in or by the sea I have created an underwater scene for the background for my story.

Moly's parents are going diving in the coral reef today and have asked sixteen year old Molly to look after her four year old brother Eric. Molly is not pleased and although she wasn't capable of going diving, she didn't want to look after Eric either as he was a real handful of trouble. After they had gone she was feeling a bit resentful and quickly had a long think about what to do with him. I know she thought, I'll take him to the sealife centre in the town. Her parents had left her some money so off they go on a bus to the outskirts of the town, a short walk to the sealife centre. Eric was actually looking forward to it as he hoped to see some sharks. He was mad on sharks and hoped they had a large white one as he thought they were really dangerous. Molly kept her fingers crossed that even a small shark might do as she felt sure they didn't have a large white one. They had some beautiful fish, jelly fish and as she suspected a few small sharks. Eric soon forgot about the sharks and was fascinated by the sea horses. He wanted to know if they ate grass like normal ones so Molly had to explain that these lived only in the sea and ate tiny shrimps. very baby fish and crustaceans. As they don't have teeth they suck the food into their digestive system. Eric was fascinated and didn't even want to be dragged away from the seahorse tank, even for an ice cream. Molly was well pleased with the day and decided that although at first she had been angry about being left with Eric, sh said to herself that everything is better when you decide you don't care she decided.

Thursday Journal with Neet.

This weeks quote in another one of Dyans ' Land of make believe - next right'                                        Sonia and her two friends Lowri and Bethan were on their way to school for an audition for the next school play which involved a fairy story about a princess and some rival princes who were after her hand in marriage. They had all reached the age of five and believed in dreaming about how their futures would  be really exciting and I'm sure the odd prince came into the conversation.  Lowri  and Bethan were full of dreams of how they would be princesses and the handsome rich Prince to would come along and this play would just suit their romantic dreams, so they were going to try their best to get a really good part. Their crowns were ready and they were now wondering who the handsome prince might be. For the life of them they couldn't think of a like candidate in their class who would fit the part, in fact they didn't like any of the boys at all. Who would be the princess, there was only one and both of them thought they were good enough., Well thought Sonia this will be interesting, one or both them might well be disappointed, Sonia didn't really like acting so she had made up her mind not to try very hard at the audition. Soda was also getting fed up with hearing them talking about princesses and princes and before they arrived at the school she couldn't resist saying to them "Land of make believe - next right" I wonder what will happen !!

I am linking this to Alison's theme of Autumn colours and inspiration on Art Journal Journey  I have also included a Halloween page that I have done in my Small Dylusion journal as it fits the theme as well.
