Has anyone noticed if fathers day is going the same way as mothers day?

I've been learning about herbs, medicine, magic...witchcraft things.

And most people learn a trade or stick to farming. Most women get married and become mothers.

It certainly sounds like my medieval times. Sometimes I still get a little agricultural revolution in my eyes, but not too often nowadays...

You're training to be a witch, then?

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

Agricultural revolution?

Yes, I've been apprenticed to two different witches so far. Three if you count Nanny Ogg.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Well, that was a very long time ago.

Magic is quite a good thing to learn. You're still keeping up your practise, aren't you?

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

...right.

Yes, as much as I can.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

But nothing too dangerous?

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

As far as I can tell, no.

I'm thinking about going to ask Nanny if she can teach me more here.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

As long as you keep up both your studies.

And still be back home before six.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

Right. I think we get a break from school soon anyway.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Really? For what?

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

Nanny says she thinks it was probably for helping with the crops at first and then they just forgot the reason as people went away from the farms.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

... That sounds alarmingly informed. What's the break called, then?

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

Summer break?

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Oh.

You're still not on that, then?
