Hello - Goodbye



We fostered a Jack Russell for two weeks. Sadly, he had epilepsy, but that could be dealt with easily with two pills a day, administered with great difficulty. He was generally a quiet little dog, and slept on the sofa (or tried to!). He was really happy, and loved walks, especially after living in a cage all his life. In the end, we managed to find a home for him. He is now living near Victoria Peak.

Mendelsson


Last weekend we were treated to a wonderful ballet exhibition by Helen's Ballet School.
Helen is in the senior class and the girls got to choose the style of costume- long, floaty, pale colours, Helen chose Juliet dresses.
Mendelsson went with it perfectly. The girls learn the Chechetti method which puts a lot of emphasis on delicate and expressive arm movements. Helen's arms are the longest I've ever seen and she looked beautiful on stage. She is the one in the middle at the front, kneeling on one knee.
