I can’t tell you our book of the week – It’s a surprise and I am saving it up for the 28 April: World Poetry Day… suffice to say it has kept us busy all week and we have totally loved it!!!

And the other thing I have started a new kind of weekly post, What’s on This Week at Se7en linking to the days in the upcoming week that we plan to celebrate or just acknowledge…

And just for fun: If you are one of the only people on the internet who haven’t heard of Susan Boyle then take the time to link through to this video – you will be amazed. It’s lovely – Well the look on everyone’s faces when she blows them away!!! I love when the least expected excels!

Everyone had a cold, and spent a day or two on the couch and any hope of gathering our school back together after a few days off schedule went, well out the window!

  1. I made Pioneer Woman’s mac and cheese last week too! (It was fabulous.) I’m tellin’ ya – the similarities between us this week are simply uncanny. 😀

  2. Hi M, Yea I have never tried one of her recipe’s before (actually we did have a Bakerela event for Hood #3’s birthday)… Normally I just oggle, crave and drool through her cooking… but mac and cheese looked manageable for regular folk like us! Isn’t the internet weird, especially when you find other folk living your life on the far side of the world!!! Hoe you have a good week!
