Noch bevor der Schnee uns erwischte – Pippa nutzt den letzten warmen Tag.
Just before the snow hit us – Pippa benefits from the last warmer day.
Mummy! The primrose is the wrong colour! You should have planted a yellow one! - Well I didn‘t plant it, at least not recently – actually it hibernated in this pot, and when I potted the horned pansies, it just stuck out its tip.
Na gut, dafür passen die Blumen gut zum Kleid und das zu Pippas Augen: die wurden braun gesprayt und blau gemalt. In natura sind Kleid und Blumen etwas mehr Richtung lila.
Very well, but the flowers match the dress and the dress matches Pippa‘s unique eyes: they were sprayed brown and painted blue. In real life dress and flowers look a bit more purplish.
Mami hat dieses Kleid weder genäht noch gekauft. Neil hat es mitgebracht. Danke Neil! Übrigens…
Mummy neither made this dress nor did she buy it. Neil brought it. Thank you Neil! By the way...
Wie kommt es dass du uns ein Kleid mitgebracht hast, Neil? Jungs sind doch sonst nicht so aufmerksam.
How come you gave us a dress, Neil? Usually boys are not that considerate.
Ähm – öhm – das war so…
Uhm – well – let‘s put it that way...
Ich möchte nicht darüber reden.
I‘d rather not talk about it.
What a lovely purple dress, we love purple here in the village.
AntwortenLöschenAnd even better a gift from Neil , although he does not want to talk about it ;)
Well there really is nothing to be ashamed of, I believe he thought Pippa might giggle... after her remark of boys not being considerate, which was clearly sexist!
LöschenSometimes there are things you don't want to talk about. Then it's better to keep it as a secret. But maybe, some day it will feel right for him to tell, and then he will do. By the way, it's a wonderful purple!!!
AntwortenLöschenIt is - funny thing, on my laptop screen it looks a wee bit too blue, and it seems to clash with the flower, but on my iphone the colour is perfect, and dress and flower are the same shade. Strange!!
LöschenLove the dress! Shades of purple have become my favorite Sasha fashion color. And Neil looks quite handsome (and manly) too ;-)
AntwortenLöschenWell he wore that frock on his Ebay photos, and I adopted him partly for his dashing blue puddle eyes and sweet little face, and partly because I felt he had decided he wanted to be a boy again.
