Not just Potter - a bit of Dahl too!

This afternoon, was a bit of a rush at times.  We managed to squeeze in an hour of gymnastics, at which K & M both completed everything they need for Level 6 Proficiency Core Gymnastics (it goes from 8 to 1).  Then we dashed home with friends, who left their car here, before all heading off to the bus stop to go to town to see James and the Giant Peach.  There was much wand waving and spell casting en route, but everyone settled down nicely for the performance, which was excellent.  I think all of the eight cast played at least one instrument, often while dancing, the songs were great, as were the puppets.  The costumes were fantastic and there was just the right amount of audience participation.  All in all a great show.

The centipede.

Finally, I forgot to mention that while we were in Stratford, inspired by L (a HEing FB friend who is also in the throes of Harry Potter), I asked my girls about their patronuses (see under Expecto patronum).  K didn't know what her happy thought would be, but told me that her patronus takes the form of a pygmy marmoset.  M's happy thought was about hugging me and her patronus takes the form of a nit!!
