school Holidays.

it's now the last school holidays before the christmas holidays. And I am working at getting my last two assignments done for the two English papers I am doing. Consequently I haven't done any more extensive drawing work on the picture book. There is so much to think about with children involved in school activities, which seem to be so much busier this time of year. And the weather too is getting warmer, but with bursts of freezing cold.

So after organising what children would be doing this holidays I have spent the day writing poetry for the poetry paper and am rather happy with the results.

This morning I went with my son and our mechanic, (my son is looking for his first car, and the worry of that too!) to have a look at a car he loved. Sigh! it had a blown head gasket and body rust as well as numerous other problems.....he was heart broken....being a wise parent is a real pain at times, there is quite a gap between romance and practicality...we are trying to find a balance.

back to work......
