Was there something I was meant to do?

 

A feeling I'm very familiar with as I easily get sidetracked away from what it is meant to  be looking up or doing into something else and find I've run out of time which wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't that others are relying  on me and I flunked it.

Lesson for dolls

As no doubt some are aware a different kind of history has been made today, I thought I would made a different post this morning.

I found this image a while ago of traditional German classroom modelled with dolls that reminded me of the kind of junior education I had. 
For one thing we had to write out and learn by rote your times tables up to 12, that were put up on the chalkboard and our teacher did have a long stick they pointed at it (and threatened you with!). Also the desk were wooden with a slope that interestingly many are now saying were better for reading and writing on having removed them for flat stackable tables and chairs.
There were maps on the wall, one showing the extent of the British Empire (as was), something we were proud of and a small class bookcase.
Turning rather more to the dolls I find it is interesting a number are in sailor uniforms, a Edwardian idea and like how the person has added matching satchels. 

Where's your homework, Jo?

True story: This did happen to me several times in my mid teens at my last school for things like incomplete or non-existent homework set which you had a separate book to write down your homework assignments and due by dates.
Basically I was being lazy not really wanting to do something every other kid at school had to do to get decent grades. Just saying you were 'disappointed' meant nothing at all as I didn't care about never mind you.

It's your road

Sometimes we forget that on this journey as enjoyable as it is to share in that adventure with like minded friends, it is our walk, following a map of our choosing, to our own destination.
Tomboy or Frou Frou, traditional childhood interests such as playing with dolls or more modern things such as gaming or anime, it is our choice.

Wait in the study!

While some elements in this picture are more from a sexual angle, such as the heels whereas in real life you'd have something a bit flatter on, this sort of room would be the sort I'd like to have my spanking needs met in. It reminds me a bit of a Headmasters study.
The draws could discretely contain the implements while the substantial leather chair could be used either to bend me over, or for the spanker to sit on draping me over his (or her) knee as they hitch my skirt up.
While I'm not big on hose, the general outfit is what I'd like to wear in this context being essentially schoolgirlish with the skirt length not to long to get in the way of things.

Idealism vs Reality

Of course it was really meant to be just like this.
A studious Jo, sat with the required books to write her essays and other homework on  with a clock and absolutely no distractions at all.
Just getting on with what practically every school girl is expected to so you'd get at least a C grade for effort and getting the basics right.
Do you really think that happened i real life?

I'm a teen

Down in our wood

Things in my wood are on the go now so I thought this week, we'd look at some pictures starting with these Bluebells that I came by while walking a few days back, covered up from bity things.

Here you can see all that lush green foliage where the birds locally have built their nests from twigs.I just love hearing birdsong.

Meanwhile over in our Meadow there's plenty of life and you can make a wish with the Dandelion 

And this lovely blossom was out too

Finally in my garden  these flowers are have a great time and look so pretty.

Technical note: all shot on Canon  A470 digital compact with just a touch of exposure correction and cropping, that's all.
