Dammit, I broke a tooth. >: (
The front of one of my top molars came off while I was eating dinner, probly cos of a bit of well-cooked and crispy lasagne sheet. <grumble> I must've swallowed the piece of tooth as well. Oh well, at least it doesn't hurt. Might be able to put off going to the dentist for a bit. I hope so, can't afford to go right away.

Heh, the cubs have recreated Hoth on one of their beds using a doona. They've delved into their lego box and created all sorts of appropriate vehicles to go with it as well. They've been keeping themselves amused in this manner for days. <g> When they get into something they get in up to their eyeballs.
But, with the SW DVD's we've got they've not watched Cartoon Network at all for over a week, can't complain about that.

It annoys me when op-shops put high prices on their goods. Sure the stuff is below sale price, but not that much below. Tch. Sometimes, however, you can get a bargain, like I did yesterday! On the '$1 each clearance' rack of my local (usually pricey) op-shop I found a black skirt made of cotton velvet, and two linen shirts, one a nice, bright red, and the other a gorgeous rich, deep purple. None of these will fit me, I should point out, they're all destined for the fabric stash. <g> That velvet will make a lovely doublet, I'm sure...

The cubs' school had a Medieval day today, to round off their term of 'From Caves to Castles' integrated study. Most of the students - and teachers - came in costume. <g> The cubs went as a peasant and a squire, wearing a couple of their father's tunics. The peasant-cub also had his dad's grubby quiver as a bag and the squire-cub wore his metal gorget. They were gorgeous! 11th century garb really suits them...
In the morning parade there were lots of princesses with poorly secured conical headdresses, knights and jesters, a couple of queens, a sprinkling of peasants and one bard. It was fun to watch and it sounded like it was an enjoyable day.
Hm, next week is the last week of term, we should get the half-yearly reports then. I'm not expecting any nasty surprises, they've both enjoyed this year so far, and they both like their teachers. I am definitely looking forward to the break, though, it's getting harder and harder to crawl out of bed when the alarm goes off in the morning!

Chapter 11's started, and I'm still having fun. : )
