Thursday

Two!

Yesterday was nice.  very pleasant indeed.  Unfortunately, the weather wasn't so good and the children missed some of their lunch time play, but it could have been a lot worse and we had fun.

Yesterday evening was fabby.  It was DG's Presentation Ball.  As I think I have mentioned, he is leaving his special school and going to a mainstream secondary so, although he wasn't school leaving age or anything like, as he was with a KS4 class who were leaving, he was included in the ball.  DD immediately turned into a prom mum.  No, we didn't quite have the stretch limo, but DG had all the sartorial trimmings including a tartan cummerbund and bow tie, a very posh shirt and a carnation buttonhole. 
And he looked WONDERFUL. 
After the presentation, DD and I left them to is, jiving the evening away, while we went to the Hare for dinner and that was also jolly nice.  We both went for their small plate meals.  I had steak this time and it was very tender and tasty.  DD had the macaroni cheese which she said was very good too.  The timing worked out very well and DD didn't have to wait here for long before going off to pick DG up at the end of the ball.

Today?  Well, there's a special assembly, I have my coordinators time, they're watching a dvd of the Bugsy Malone show in all its glory and they have some cards to make for their reading partners.  That should keep them going.
