Daughter-Two had her final drama class of the term yesterday, which culminated in a final presentation for the parents.

Unfortunately Daughter-Two missed last week (when they rehearsed the short piece) due to the trip to Cambridge but they said not to worry, they would give her a line to say. since it was her, they said, it would be fine because she is so "flexible". Not bad for a child deemed "too autistic" to attend school for more than 4 half days a week just two years ago.

Not that she didn't add in a few extra bounces.

 

(Yes, she has had a "hair hack". I tried to suggest she was grown up enough to cope with the hairdressers but she wasn't buying that. "Noooo, nooo they have hair whisks!! Too noisy!!" I believe "hairwhisks" = blow dryers. So I had to cut it myself AGAIN. Anyway, once it has grown back a bit I will admit defeat and find a home hairdresser who can hide away any hair whisks/blow dryers).

While we waited for the show to begin, Bernard and I wandered down the nearby main shopping street - I took photos of textures and he sulked about not getting to sit down with a coffee. It's an ... interesting drag of shops. We wondered about the attraction of the drum shop for the pigeons ... until a woman arrived with their breakfast and it was explained.

 

 

How considerate of her. Wonder if the owners of the Drum Shop agree though? Then we came home and Bernard took to his bed. Seems the flu I had early in the week but managed to fight off within a few days has hit him. Well, that's his story anyway.

Meanwhile, here's what's new in store at Designer Digitals:

 

 

I always swore I wouldn't do a 4th July kit, but since I had so many USA photos to scrap:

 

There's also some freebie word art in the store here.

Never say never, eh? It's a beautiful kit, btw--and I'm not even from the States! Allen spends his time at the hairdressers trying to move his head diametrically away from the scissors. It makes for an interesting swivel-chair chase scene. ;)

kids are just the funniest thing, you never know what they'll throw at you next!
I love all your new stuff, the kit is great!!
