Cult Fiction (by sarah)

As I mentioned before I have postponed my birthday until the summer and Alaric is organising me a 30th birthday party on the theme of cult fiction. We have settled on the date of the weekend 17th-19th of June. Al is going to be making an electonic invite page etc... and I will get around to facebook invites and things (but obviously if I've forgotten you then I probably think I've already invited you so prod me!).

Even though Al said he would organise everything I really wanted to do some sort of picture for the theme for the invites - hence the picture at the top. I just thought I'd share it all and give you all fair warning too 🙂

Who knows if I get time I might even print out some invites 🙂

The picture itself is ment as a frame from text saying things like 30th Birthday etc... When I it is themed I mean I want an excuess to ware a corset 😉 I am hoping that someone will bring a projector too so I can have my favourite films etc... running.

If you want to know more ask Al as he is organiser 😉

Half Term Fun (by sarah)

Half term with a new baby and hyper active five year old - actually it was quiet alot of fun though I was soooo tired!

We did painting and crafts, home school and watched films, Jean couldn't really play outside much as I couldn't go with her so it restricts where she can play but she did go to rock mice again and this time she had her rock mice t-shirt 🙂 Rock Mice is a climbing club for 5+ and Jean loves it 🙂

Jean also decided she wanted to have her hair done in lots of different styles - it was all variations on plaits because that's all I felt upto tackling.

Poetry and Piaf (by sarah)

Coming up in Cheltenham on the 31st March-1st of April is The Cheltenham Poetry Festival and I am going to be doing a few things at it 🙂

First off I am reading my Piaf poem at the Poetry and Piaf events which is very exciting as I love listening to the singer perform Piaf's songs and telling us about her life and the tragedy of it.

Tickets are £10 incase any of you want to come along 🙂

The next thing I will hopefully be doing though is not yet confirmed is Murder in the Chapel which is an interactive sluething event and looks like lots of fun 🙂

Lastly I may have a slot reading/performing my poetry in the Beechwood shopping center but again that has not been confirmed yet - if I do then there will be some sci/tech poetry 🙂

Chinese New Year (by sarah)

Jean was really keen to do Chinese New Year so we made lots of lanterns and coughs got a take away and Jean put on her 'chinese' outfit and selected her chop sticks and away we went 🙂

Pancake Day (by sarah)

I managed to make pancakes for pancake day though there were a few burnt ones due to having to sit down etc.. but we had a normal mix of topping mostly (I hadn't managed to grow any bean sprouts this year due to that whole having a baby thing). We had blue cheese and bananna and condensed milk and sugar and lemon juice and grated chocolate and peanut butter (chrunchy) and marmite 🙂
