Mini Beasts in East London.




We put a variety of soil, leaves and sticks in the blue tray, then looked under every stone and pile of sticks in the garden. We only found 1 woodlouse, 1 slug, 3 small worms and 1 longer one, 1 empty snail shell and 1 live one. Later we found the spider who ate the green thing (shield insect?) and a butterfly.
There was one reddish centipede but it disappeared from the tray - could the slug be eating it? Oh and there was a ladybird but it flew away before CassCass could get it in the tray!

A visit to the dentist.

Look what happened to LissaLou last week! She had to go to the dentist to get a filling. (The teacher in Guadeloupe gave the good children a sweetie every afternoon as they left school). The dentist notice a loose tooth and sought permission to remove it. With reminders of the tooth fairy, this was given.
The tooth fairy had no change to hand and left a 2 euro coin. Later it was changed and spent on.....nail varnish. And she's only 5!
