She lives in her own little bubble

I wasn't there, but it looks as though all you need to do this is half a tire, some soapy liquid and a hula hoop.

Ailsa's Eleven

She got her ears pierced and she got a zebra onesie. Happy times.

Our girls

These pictures are not necessarily recent, as you might tell from the greenery.

 Heather in the heather. Probably walking up Scolty hill in late August.

 Laura watching TV. But these are old glasses. Just yesterday she got Bifocals!!

 Clare on a summer walk that turned rainy in late June.

Ailsa eating breakfast outside on a hot sunny morning in May - see Opa in the background?

What do you get...

.....if you cross a teacher with a vampire?

Lots of blood tests.

My favourite Halloween joke this year.
Laura was a cat (same outfit as last year).
Claire was a panda, wearing her onesie. Onesies are only a British fashion phenomenon I have discovered!! What? Doesn't every kid, teenager and 50 percent of the adults in North America own a onesie?
Heather was a mad scientist. Lab coat, wierdie blue goggles and great hair. Hair like if Einstein had been a girl.
Ailsa was a stripey pirate, and nabbed her little sister's ophthalmic eye patch.

Now it's fireworks going off here and there in the neighbourhood every night for the next week. I'm glad we don't have a nervous dog.
