(Bad) Sports Day...

Oh my sense of fair play and sports-womanship is wearing pretty thin already, and we have to do it all again tomorrow (my birthday!!!!)...


At least it was sunny, for the whole 4 hours I spent at school to witness the girls' combined 15 minutes of fame!

In the brief few minutes, before I had to go back again to pick everyone up, I managed to get the binding attached to my Stitch Tease Quilt...


...so that's me sorted for an evening or two.

  11. Secondary school has it's advantages! Only really keen parents go to sports day! I was asked not to come - am I that embarrassing? Apparently!
