Let the Sun Shine . . .

1. I got home yesterday to find a real surprise in my post box - I have been nominated for a Caloundra City Australian Day cultural award. With a little further investigation (ie. ringing my mother) I found out that I wasn't nominated by a parent, but by another community group in Peachester, which gives me a warm tingly feeling inside.

2. Yesterday I found the best new Young Adult's book series. It's called Cherub by Robert Muchamore, and it's about British spies who are aged between ten and seventeen. The children are all orphans, or have been removed from parents who are in jail, and they live on a secret campus in England. It sounds a bit kooky, but it was a really exciting read and I'm looking forward to reading others in the series. A must for Spooks fans.

3. I have my second driving lesson tomorrow. I chose automatic because of anxiety about driving, but the first lesson went extremely well. I should have my license by the end of January!

Concert tonight. Am scared.

Watched the gymnastics last night. Yay Monette! And yay that there was much less glitter than at the Olympics. Unfortunately, I think a lot of the girls were really playing it safe on floor and beam - there wasn't as much 'wow' as I remember from a few years ago. They seem to be saving it for the bars. (I remembered why I stopped watching the bars last night - my sisters were beginning to do some of that stuff and it was petrifying) And anyone who mucks a double pirouette on the floor deserves shooting.

Not dead. Just in concert rehearsal business.

Remind me to tell you all how I enjoyed Elizabethtown. And Season 5 of West Wing.

Off to finish monkey vests, make wands and sew elastic on ruby slippers
