People disappeared, reappeared, made plans to go somewhere, and then lost each other, searched for each other, found each other a few feet away.

I want to build a shed.
I’ll tell my gran it’s for this…
But it will really be for this…
Or maybe both. It will be full of awesome tools like my dad’s 240v hammer drill and a really good jigsaw and one of those miter boxes that can be set at any angle and a really sweet toolbox with lots of places for lots of types of screws and nuts and bolts and nails and such.
And I can make pretty things like…
And
And I can have a part with my sewing machine in there and a table big enough to cut fabric on and lots of little compartments inside drawers for buttons and ribbons and such like this…
Only ten times bigger.
I will be the queen of DIY and my place will be gorgeous and full of things I created myself and I will be a happy girl but also probably swimming in furniture, cushions and cool skirts.
And that’s my story.

NEW DELHI (AP) — “their classroom is a flattened patch of dirt and rocks under the elevated rail tracks. their blackboards are rectangles painted on a chipped concrete wall. their teacher is a shop owner with no formal training, but a conviction that education is their only hope.
“for some of these dozens of children of poor migrant workers in India’s capital, this makeshift, open-air school under the rumble of mass transit is the only school they have. others who attend overcrowded and dismal government schools come here as well — to actually learn. here they are provided thanks to a single benefactor with free backpacks, socks and shoes
“india’s right to education act promising free, compulsory schooling to all children ages 6 to 14 was supposed to take full effect march 31, 2013, but millions of children still don’t go to school and many who do are getting only the barest of educations.
“so every morning, more than 50 children gather under the bridge for two hours of lessons at rajesh kumar’s informal school. they sweep the dirt flat and roll out foam mats to sit on, just meters from the bushes were several men had been squatting and defecating minutes earlier.”
