The things of Christmas

I have been SO busy arranging the carol concert - but it all went well. We made £6000+ for our funds - well, minus quite a lot for expenses - and £1000+ for charity, so that was good. We probably won't sell as many tickets for our next concert in May, so a little cushion of profit will help to fund that one. Then we do an all-for-charity Come and Sing in June and after that my 3-year stint as chair will be over nearly two-thirds done. Hurray. 

Meanwhile, other people have done other things. Littlest Granddaughter made a robot (above) for her best friend - designed by her and partly made by her, though her mum helped. 


She and her mum and the other grandparents also went to see the show her dad is in, in Birmingham, and she sat on a throne after the show. You can see how she's posing. I hope she's not going to be an actor. I mean, we need actors. But corporate law probably pays better. 


And Biggest Granddaughter played the part of a charger in a panto at church. I didn't see this show so don't know the context. 

I'm off down to London again tomorrow to visit Daughter 2 and do some dishes. When I get back, I'll start concentrating on things such as decorating the house, currently a bit bare.

  1. The idea of being a chair of any organization scares me to death. I'm OK being a helper or a lesser officer but the responsibility of organizing and dealing with all the details AND people would intimidate me. So, go you!! Love the throne photo. The context of the remote control would be interesting; you'll have to post about it when you find out. :) Happy decorating!

    1. I think it was actually a charger; I've edited it.

    2. They were doing a short pantomime in which the plot was that Santa was supposed to make the Christmas tree lights come on, but they wouldn't work. Various attempts to power them up were tried, and one involved plugging in a battery (played but another child) and a charger. In order to "charge" the battery, Biggest Granddaughter had to chase her all over the church while wearing the above, essentially a large cardboard tube whichadenit quite hard to run around. She was a hit worried she might fall over, but didn't. She also had some funny lines.

    3. "which made it..." Sorry, don't know how I missed that typo! She was also "a bit worried".
