I am soooo proud

What a fantastic weekend, totally chilled and on Saturday night I went to see CMM in her drama club pantomime. It was Aladdin and she was Wishee Washee part of the comedy duo with the dame but the romantic duo with So-Shi. I hesitate to say this but Wow. The whole thing was just fabulous and CMM was brilliant, she had worked so hard and her comic timing was just fabulous.

CMJ has had more studying to do and is working hard, even in those times when we find it really hard to buckle down it is hard work! I think she'll be fine though because she's pretty smart and she wants to do it for herself, so she will manage to be brilliant.

Back to work today, I don't relish Mondays but it wasn't too bad, I feel pretty tired tonight and I keep dropping things which is really starting to bug me. Anyway, having trouble uploading photos, don't know why - so am going to give it another go.

I can't believe how quickly time goes by.

I looked at my blog today and discovered it's 9 months since I looked and I have 2 messages!! From the same person but if you are still checking in I am so glad to hear from you. I am going to try to leave you a message.
My lovely girls are doing very well, CMJ is now a teaching assistant and CMM is turning out to be a genius - well, a very bright girl. We are very proud of her, she is lucky though, loves to work. How cool is that for a 13 year old.
CMM is off to France on a student exchange and the daughter of the family she stays with will come and stay with them. It's such a lovely idea, we always had students when I was young and it helped with language studies a lot.
Yesterday was Robert Burns' birthday so the girls were here for haggis, mashed potatoes and swede. We like to keep it up, my parents always celebrated so it keeps the family traditions alive.
We had a lot of snow this winter (for the south coast anyway!) and it was surprisingly cold, but Christmas was lovely again and so was New Year. We had hoped to stay with a friend of CMJ who spent lots of time at my house when they were growing up, just like one of the family. Anyway, she's moved to the Lake District and we were planning to go but the weather was too inclement so we stayed home and just celebrated here. It was just lovely - a really nice start to the year.
Once again I will try to do this weekly at least, I want to but have been very bad at it so far!!
