Alice

 I wish I could describe how wonderful Alice as a ballet is. The scenery, props, costume, dancing, choreography, music etc... is truly breathtaking. The pictures here taken from the Internet just don't do it justice but do give you a flavour. If you get the chance to see it - do. I think it is going to be in the cinema - maybe Thursday? Not quite the same seeing it on a flat screen but still good I should think. The Opera house had lots of children on Saturday. A perfect first ballet as there is so much to see

 We had a lovely time with Chloe and Ed - thankfully Chloe was feeling much better. We celebrated Ed's birthday and Chloe getting into South Thames. We now wait to see where she will actually be - she has ordered 270 jobs and waits to see where they will put her. I think she will hear by the end of April.

After 2 very busy days I was exhausted yesterday and spent the day in bed! I am still quite tired now. This week is our holiday at home and as it is SO cold we are having a spring cleaning week in doors instead of the trips out we had planned. I think we should have ordered a skip! 

 Paul and I are both hoarders so we need to be disciplined to sort and throw out. I am trying to keep the premise - only keep if it is useful or beautiful. But so many things might be useful!!!! I have written a three sided list of what I hope to achieve this week - there is no way I will manage it all but hopefully some of it will get done without me being too distracted along the way!

I think our aim is to have a home for everything (apart from Chloe's boxes of stuff) rather than the piles we live amongst!

I am being quite ambitious as I am still in bed typing this at 10.00 on Monday morning and Wednesday and Thursday are taken up with buying and arranging the Easter flowers at church - oh well better get on with it!
