Grab and piece of paper and a pen and draw a self-portrait in under 2 minutes. Then share it with us!

I did this in Paint as I don't have a means to upload paper pics right now, but I will do one in a mo on paper that I will share later.

Share a sentence from one of your favorite books. 

She believed to her last day in old-fashioned remedies like rhubarb leaf, and made sounds of contempt over all this new-fangled talk about germs, and so on.

This sounds like such an excellent idea. The Eden Project is encouraging people to get their neighbours together and have a big old open air party on July 19th.

See if there is a party planned near you for the Big Lunch.

Right now my girlies and their pals should be relaxing after (hopefully) whizzing through their first major exam, R.E. GCSE.

It was only yesterday that H breathed a sigh of relief that all her SATS were over, but they are in a group of kids that are guinea pigging taking a GCSE at 13-14 in Year 9 instead of Year 11. I helped out with their revision by making flash cards, which I dutifully wrote out in the neatest handwriting I could manage with my dodgy old wrist and it was so weird listening to them quizzing each other on euthanasia and conversion last night, knowing that they were doing it to gain a mark that may or may not mean something to their future.

My biggest hope is that they have learnt what it takes to work at their exams so when they finally get their options for the next two years that they work hard at it to get what they want.
