Al the Flying Dementor

Al is trying to make the jump between our two sofas, one on each side of the room. It won't be long before he can do it. I took lots of pictures as he was trying this evening, each time thinking, 'he's going to crack his head open in a minute', but obviously he never did. Obviously I didn't get a good picture either, but I like this image as somehow you can detect the determination in his face, and as usual, he is wearing his Slytherin robes, billowing out behind him.

Went to Al's end if term drama club demo. Not a performance but a demonstration of the sort of games and improvisations they do. Crikey it was noisy. Betsy has been chosen to do a reading at her school Carol Concert next week - her last one. We aren't telling Chris, but keeping it as a surprise. I cried hearing her just read it out in the kitchen, despite the fact that she pronounced 'swaddling clothes' as 'swadderlerling cloths'. I'm sure she'll get it right on the night! Went for a run today and did three hours writing in the afternoon. A lovely day.
