I've just had a splendid day...

A good lesson first thing with a student. I get home and start to prepare for my Collège lessons this week: happily I discover that we didn't finish all the work I'd prepared for last week. So, with a bit of tweaking I am ready for the Hoardes in double quick time. Then friends phoned up to see if we wanted to meet them in the café across the road for lunch. Is the Pope Catholic?! Do bears sh*t in the woods?! So a very nice lunch of charcuterie & salad, steak & chips, cheese and pudding, washed down with a glass of Leffe Bière de Noel (Nobody mention the NYResolutions, okay?!)

And then I spent all afternoon making cards for an order of 12 that someone at Chorale wants. Bizarrely she wants two sets of 6 different designs. I pointed out that my cards are unique so I can't make them exactly the same, but I'll use the same materials/themes. Playing with bits of card, shiny paper, sequins and beads is my idea of heaven! I've made 8 of the 12, but ran out of inspiration. I'm very pleased with them. :-)
