Some of them are the Twilight crowd, looking for new fantasy fixes with strong female characters, so maybe the Americans should think of that angle.<BR/><BR/>All the best,<BR/><BR/>Cheers<BR/><BR/>ms.bRuth Buchananhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11459839322444148898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23502762.post-46696416264496950462009-01-09T11:52:00.000+11:002009-01-09T11:52:00.000+11:00It was a big, bold, brave year for you Penni.

I'm glad to be in your universe to hear your great stories. <BR/><BR/>I'm going to buy "Why French Women Don't Get Fat" today too - along with my holiday reads. I've dropped 1 kg in a week, but I think that's just guilt - I need something a bit more reliable.<BR/><BR/>Wishing you all things fabulous always. <BR/>xxxxKathryn Woodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08381258835202419393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23502762.post-58068256592635049082009-01-07T18:47:00.000+11:002009-01-07T18:47:00.000+11:00And you knit a horse.

This sending off to school thing is a big ol' bag of mixed emotion. <BR/><BR/>I have an (almost) three year old who would love to play with Una. We have Tuesdays and Thursdays free from about 10.30ish. <BR/><BR/>Funny how the year of angst of school choosing resolved itself for us both. I feel so calm, content, happy with our choice whereas this time last year I was in a state of absolute turmoil.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23502762.post-69591200781898614422009-01-07T00:20:00.000+11:002009-01-07T00:20:00.000+11:00Hi Penn,I have a 4yo ready and willing to play wit...Hi Penn,<BR/>I have a 4yo ready and willing to play with Una. Thursdays are best .. I also need to have a good chat with you about the 'Local School' have much to share, and almost all positive. <BR/>Back from a road trip with the kids, 12 hours today from Central coast NSW so should be sleeping it off but too wired. <BR/>A good year for you, and a greater one ahead.

I'm a lurker here on your blog:) But wanted to say, I went to both a small and large highschool, as well as a small and large primary school.

What did you do with the other 37 seconds of the year?<BR/><BR/>Good luck in '09, I'm sure the school choice will be a good one - in one short year I've become a big fan of the small school. Although, I suspect your fear of school swallowing up time is entirely valid. <BR/><BR/>My theme for the year is optimism - it will all work out in the end - for me, you and everyone else! :)Arianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17977679825245376111noreply@blogger.com
