[yun-plans]

Currently 咖啡 ☕️ is one of my favorite words… probably because I have a raging coffee addiction… but also… I kind of really like how the strokes are laid out, that word makes my brain happy to look at.

This is Loki, (第四小猫）one of the study buddies… adorable, yes… motivated… not so much.

I also found a new favorite idiom today (which, to be fair, I haven’t delved too deeply into idioms yet) but:

爱屋及乌 / ai wu- ji wu

(Lit.) Love the house and it’s crows

Or rather love for a person extends even to the crows that perch upon the roof of his/her house.

e.g. - to love absolutely everything there is about a person

I think that is a really beautiful sentiment 🥰

---------------------------------------------------

How it works?

We cramp bright and early to take advantage of the good weather, but by the afternoon we were getting tired, so I asked Simon which was the quickest way back. "Don't ask me", he said. "It's all right", said Magnus, "I know the way back from here. It's a piece of cake." Famous last words! We followed him in one direction for half an hour, before he changed his mind and set off in another direction. But by five o'clock, Simon and I were fed up with walking round in circles. Even Magnus agreed we were getting nowhere and announced that we were lost. "Well, in that case, we should give Tim a ring", I said. Tim Collier was in charge of our group and I knew he'd be furious that we'd got lost. But we were deep in a valley and there was no signal on my mobile, so we couldn't get through. Just then, Simon realized where we were. Thank heavens for that. I thought. We followed him up a steep path and at the top we could see we were only a stone's throw from the main road, which more or less took us back to camp. We finally got there just before seven. As we passed Tim, I tried to laugh it off "Ah, well, better late than never, eh?" "You were supposed to be back by five", he said. And with that, he marched off.
