Wonderful evening yesterday seeing Katya and Pasha dance. We were so close to them - it felt like our television screens had opened up and there they were! They were joined by 2 dancers from a Sky dancing programme that I hadn't seen but they too were wonderful. One of the the highlight of the show however was the dancing competition when people from the audience went up onto the stage to learn how to dance. 6 couple went up including 2 little girls. The girls had brought their ball room shoes with them and were obviously used to dancing. They were wonderful and Pasha and Katya were lovely with them. Their mummy was sat behind us and was in tears watching them. We waited afterwards to take photos - mmmm mine are rubbish. I need to practise using my zoom! But at least I have a photo! The other photo is of some of the people I went with.

Our other major activity yesterday was the purchase of a new sewing machine for Chloe. We went to the sewing shop near cemetery junction where the man was VERY helpful. We will be collecting it on Tuesday. It is amazing what it can do. Chloe can't wait to get her hands on it. For the next month it will live here while Chloe finishes her project - so I will get to have a little go. Lovely!

It is now only a month until we go on holiday - wow! I just have to get through 2 more blood tests and a renal appointment!

Today - a bit of tidying, gardening(planting the little tiny plants that arrived yesterday looking a bit poorly) and slow cooking lamb for tea - yummy!
