Friends, come Monday night the dance and drama concerts will be finished and we can settle in for a relaxed, slow and special countdown to Christmas. It’s been a flurry of activity (in ridiculous summer humidity) and all the excitement has led to the inevitable tiredness and tantrums. The house is a mess, there’s enough washing to keep me busy for a week and I have about 20 stories to write before Friday next week. But…it’s also just the way it should be. I predict easy dinners, ice-cream at the beach and early nights right up until Christmas Eve. Have a wonderful weekend!
