Read
The Lucy Variations by Sara Zarr

(Lucy is a musical genius [sort of] who quits music, then slowly learns to love it again...my review...)
Split Second by Sophie McKenzie

Cherry Green Story Queen by Annie Dalton

(I loved how the children got totally absorbed by Cherry's stories - although the mean boy changing his attitude so fast through listening to the stories was a little unrealistic...)

(I still want cake whenever I watch this...)
Craft
So, I have my hexagon which is not quite a hexagon....and as I'm busy this Friday I probably won't make the second until next week. Somehow 6 inch squares had become four inch squares so I'm having to make them bigger...I've wound up lots of yarn - I do this even on pre-wound balls because it makes it less liable to knot, plus it's quite relaxing to do.
