Halloween 2010

They dont really celebrate Halloween here, the older generation has no idea 
what it is. We went into our local village but no one was prepared. 
Tatiana got some oranges some cooking chocolate, some left over candy in a 
bag, old peanuts. She didnt care since she doesnt like sweets anyway.
She just wanted to dress up and be seen.




 she got some oranges here
 so desperate she went into the local bar and got some pennies, 
here she is being sniffed by the owners dog
met another boy in costume and they decided to do it together

spider bite

On my birthday I woke up, picked up my shoes that were besides my bed and put 
them on. I felt something bite me. I tore off my socks and threw my shoe off. 
Michael looked inside my shoe and sock but couldnt find anything.
It was so painful, it felt like a bee sting. That night my foot swelled up and a 
ball of puss came up. I went to the hospital.
I was given antibiotics and something for the swelling. 

  
Day 2 

 Day 4 the swelling has gone down and now my foot is turning purple


 day 9 swelling is gone

day 11 where the poison was its now scabs, 
my foot looks dry and gray, its the photograph
in person its normal color just with scabs

Looks a bit like a spider doesnt it?




The doctor said because of the puss it was a spider, 
dont know what kind but now I am paranoid when I put my shoes on. 

Lately I have had an uncanny urge to climb the sides of the walls 
and just yesterday I crochet a web 





Bordeaux Faire

It was the school break
We went to the Bordeaux fair, we noticed that the game prizes have sure gotten better.
Now instead of a stuffed toy you win a TV, iphone, ipad, stereo etc...





 Tatiana and I went on the spinning ride
