knowing someone who knows someone

one of the women I work with helps her mother out with Rainbows. I was saying to her yesterday how we’d never been able to get involved in that kind of thing because of the travelling and she said she would ask the brownie leader whether they had any spaces. They do, and Big can start after half term. That’s how it is supposed to work, isn’t it? Knowing someone who knows someone?

We’ve never really done that kind of thing before as we’ve never really known anyone local. Feels like quite a momentous occasion 🙂

Small wants to go to Brownies when he’s 8 as well 😀

Amusing day at school today – it’s interesting trying to manage children without a voice. I’ve no idea where mine has gone, but it’s no longer with me, there’s a rumour that this is what happens when you work in the children’s house as the previous directress frequently lost her voice too. Ah well, here’s hoping it’s back at least to some extent tomorrow. Off to rest up now to give it a decent chance!

    I think a boy should pursue the Guiding Association for discrimination. Sadly he’ll probably go off the idea by the time he’s old enough.
