Just when it was all going so well...
Prepared lots of pages to work on when I came back after Easter...came back and messed them up! I've tried to salvage them, but I have a feeling I'll be re-doing that entire scene. (It was one of my favourites too, I'm very upset.) Tutor Donna was around to give me some of the best advice I've had, along the lines of 'It happens to everyone, best to just go to the pub', which is very true. Actually, it doesn't look so bad in this photo, maybe I could just insert the photo instead of the proper page.

Here are some of the finger puppets I've been making. I made a Jack Bauer for Maz (it was her birthday a little while ago) and a Kim Bauer for Sheriff. Requests have come in for other 24 characters, so I'll be making those soon. I once made the crew of Star Trek, Next Gen. for Luke. I think the appeal of these puppets lies in their crudeness - I really have no ability to sew.

I have to cut down on my gym time - what with all the work I need to do. Also Andy, my favourite person to train with, has bruised and/or cracked a rib after a very enthusiatic bout of sparring with Brian. Minor injuries wouldn't help him, so he had to go to A&E where he was given a great bit of paper that said he may have bruised/cracked or broken a rib (apparently it's all treated the same?) and he should take ten deep breaths every hour. The wording made it sound like he should only breathe ten times an hour. Now, I'm no doctor, but that doesn't sound like good advice to me. Get better soon Andy, we have a grading to prepare for (and nobody likes to hear you whinging).
