Postcard Swap

Still can't find my camera which has the cutest photos of lambs on it. Oh well I pinched Caitlin's and managed to find the cable for it. So here is the completed postcard that will be winging its way back to the Lake District tomorrow. Not Kendal, which is a shame, but to Whitehaven.

I am really pleased with the satin stitch on the leaves. I used to hate satin stitch but now I find it so relaxing!

Needed to be after the day I have had. Realised we couldn't book a trip to Melbourne as my passport had expired. Found the form online, filled it in, checked the guidelines, got the photos taken (yuck). Then went to the post shop to get it checked and sent off to the British High Commission! Bloody unhelpful woman in the post shop. Didn't know a thing, told me I had done it wrong when I hadn't, told me it was up to the customer to get it right, they were only there to process it, and then forgot to put the receipt in the envelope to prove i had paid. 

Had Caitlin at home with another of her throat, headache, tension/exhaustion  things too, though she was no trouble.

And finally... Reuben got his mid year report to day. It was stunning! I am a proud mom! I knew it would be good but it was EXCELLENT!!!! Now for the parent teacher meeting tomorrow, where Mr McLarin can explain one comment on the report about intelligence being hereditary and that individuals tend to regress to the norm. I figure he means Reuben is gifted, that he is genetically advantaged but he needs to keep up the work effort to fulfill his amazing potential-Well I am a teacher of the gifted so that's what I believe!!! We shall see!
