I just talked to an old friend for the first time in ages. It was really nice to catch up and have a fun, light-hearted conversation. I don't get to do that with people other than my husband much these days. When Wayne came home, I said - I talked to Roy today - he says I'm funny. As if this was news worthy. I guess I sometimes wonder if I still have a personality. Apparently, Roy thinks I do :-)
My friend Aniela is coming to England this weekend. We're meeting her, her husband and her daughter in London on Sunday. I'm looking really froward to it. I don't get to hang out with friends (especially on my turf) and it will be really nice to feel normal for a change. We haven't seen them since our trip back to the States and it's going to to be really good to see them.
We're thinking about going on the London Eye while in London (the biggest ferris wheel in the world).

We both let them know how upset we were that we were not informed that our children were sent to the office and how much we were against the children being allowed to play fighting games on the playground. I told them I wouldn't allow it at home and I'm really unhappy that it's being allowed at school. They admitted it was a problem and explained that they are planning to introduce a a scheme to teach the children to play in a safe way. They will be calling it 'Super Hero Training'. They plan to give out capes & masks out to children who behave well as rewards at playtime. They will have assemblies where they will teach the children to play fighting games without making contact. I find this to be absurd. The problem has gone on to long and I doubt they will be able to teach little children to change their games when they have sixty other childr...
