Family Fun

Jane Lennox, Catherine and I went to Brighton on Friday to see the girls and the boys. We came back on Sunday having had a jolly time.

a game to keep him going

Tip for the Day

I see I haven't had any takers for writing my assignment. Never mind. I have done it myself. 

That was always the plan anyway.

Happy Birthday Catherine.

One more year as a teenager. Make the most of it.

Can't wait to see you. Only a week to go.

Tip for the day

Assignment for writing course arrived today. It is as follows:

Here are the instructions for your assignment:  

Write a piece of fiction of no more than 1000 words in length.  This can either be based on something you wrote during the course, or inspired by one of the exercises we did, or based on something you're already working on. The piece must include 

i) some description of a place or person, if possible with a metaphorical dimension to it,

ii) some dialogue, drawing on the idea of dialogue as action, and 

iii) a sense of the main character's key goal and key obstacle. 

The deadline is 24th May and please remember to attach your cover sheet with the assignment.

I am accepting offers from anyone who wants to do it for me. 

Chloe's Senior Prom

Chloe had her May Ball/Senior Prom on Friday.  She had a pre-party party at the farm for 50 of her best friends and I went with camera. Here are a few pics.

Opening champagne is easy

Milling about

One is 18 the other 17. Mr. 18 can buy booze at the prom.

Where is my big sister and all her friends?

Toward the canal

Speaks for itself

Long boat approaching the lock - man standing

He lets her back on and they are off to London

Okay. It's a start. I think I have to make my pictures smaller. Oh the joy of learning a new skill.
