Day of Two Halves

This morning was CarbBoy's selection meeting for the under 12s Department basketball team. He seemed to have a lot of fun. Sitting there with TallGirl, it was quite striking to see how different he is from us: confidently talking to new people, laughing and high-fiving. I'm sure I would have just stood at the back, cringing if anyone looked my way.

Anyway, I don't think he'll make the team, but he didn't seem at all downhearted about that.

Later, a cultural interlude to balance this morning's sport, with an evening of Japanese tales and music, told in (mainly) French and played on a variety of ancient instruments. Fun and uplifting.

Later still, there was ironing, but we'll forget about that.
