We did munch through a lot of the macerated raisins so had to substitute...

Sun shine and a lazy winter Sunday morning...The prospect of three holidays-today being the first after a hard days work...its been three weeks for head banging, back breaking, throat scratching organisational miracle that all 800 children got on and off the stage without breaking their teeth or bones...Two holidays are small compensation, but compensation nonetheless...Lazy hazy day today...Watching the parrots and pigeons and squirrels fight over...
