Art Class
On deciding to go to art class
And not attending Art class
Going to art class was what I wanted to do. When I was in Grade 9 (back in the day we called it Standard 7) we were to choose our school subjects for the following year. I desperately wanted to choose art as a subject. But being the good boy that I was I took the advise from the adults and chose the ‘safe’ subjects.

My thoughts on my favourite pastime: Procrastination
Procrastination is the action of delaying or postponing something.

The Day the Tree died
Our neighbours decided it was time to cut down their tree. I won’t go into why they did it, let’s just say it’s the same as putting a dog to sleep because it barks. Anyway, below is a photo of the tree in question. This photo was taken a while ago when I saw a Burchell’s coucal in the tree. The photo was meant to be used as a blog post about the bird (can you spot the Burchell’s coucal?) and not about the tree that was cut down. It was a beautiful tree!
