Book week

If I'm totally honest, book week is generally the low point of my school year.  I dread the prospect of inventing a costume that will vaguely pass as a book character so that the children can hold their heads high at school that day.  Finding the time and the creativity is a huge challenge, and this year was no different.  I was beginning to despair last night at 7pm when the amazon man still hadn't arrived with the promised parcel - so much for their guaranteed next day delivery service.  But just as I pressed 'send' on my emailed complaint there was a knock on the door and book day was saved.  Another year survived with Jenny as Queen Jadis of Narnia and James as Hiccup the Horrendous Haddock the Third.  Phew.
