@Mumtobabyhavoc I got very confused reading about your day confusion. I read it in the early hours of Saturday, but was still Friday night to me, so I thought I’d missed a day myself!
I’ve got two photos of our Parish Pantomimes. One of our teachers used to write, produce and direct the pantomimes and each year the 7/8 yr olds used to take part alongside the adults. Our mums made the hats and collars on the sailor costumes and we had white T-shirts and white pleated skirts. We had to dance onto the stage to the sailors hornpipe. The pantomime was Aladdin and my brother was in Cinderella. The mums had to sew all the buttons on the hats, trousers and waistcoats because they were Pearly Kings and Queens.
Helena I hope parents realise how many hours you are working with and for their children. Thank goodness you should be able to have a rest during the summer break, although I remember working long hours during the holidays.
MissC swordfish sounds really tasty. We had prawns and a green salad tonight as the weather was quite balmy. I could hear some neighbours having a barbecue and thankfully the rain kept off.
It’s the Men’s Final at Wimbledon tomorrow and the football final, so we’ll have to fit in our FaceTime with family abroad in between. Oh and there is a charity bicycle ride from Manchester to Blackpool which goes past the house. There are hundreds taking part and some of the cyclists used to wear fancy dress and call with buckets for donations. I used to have to give money to my children to donate. It’s going to be a very sporty day tomorrow!
