I'm sure that Beck will do a full on blog about this, but anyway, here's my contribution. Yesterday I had the pleasure of going with Mum, Beck and Marcella to the movies for her first ever experience of the 'movie experience'.
I captured some of it on tape, too. (well, HD - I've moved up in the world - borrowed the school's camcorder...) I had to be a bit Mission Impossible about it, because otherwise they might've thought I was videoing the show to do a bootleg copy - not that I would need to, there's enough out there already, because it is actually already out on DVD - yes, people, we went to see the enthralling "Dora the Explorer Saves the Snow Princess"!!! I know, you are all soooo envious...
Anyway, what was lovely was just seeing Miss M's reaction. She had no idea what to expect, and when we got in there, and there was this HUGE Dora on the screen - she just sat agog, eyes glued to the screen, and hand doing the reflex action - popcorn, mouth, popcorn, mouth - the whole time! Afterwards I tried to ask her what she thought of it, but she didn't say much - I was recording her at the time and she was more interested in what I was doing than in what I was saying...
Anyway, it was just a gorgeous moment, nice to be a part of a 'first' for one of the neices and nephews...

Hey there Miss!
I haven't said much lately have I?
Well! School starts back on the 7th, so that's gonna be fun...!
There's gonna be a new violin teacher so I can't wait to meet them. Didja know about the... I forgotten it's name, but it was in a huge marquee, and different bands got to play there. Primary schools came during the day and I think the night was reserved for parents. It was pretty cool. Mr Jackson caught it on tape, I'm sure, But I wouldn't know how to get a copy.
Anyways! Enjoy the last few days of Summer. Or is it Winter over there now? I can't remember. Enjoy it anyway.
Rowan.
