Wednesday was just a manic day! Hannah went to a Victorian Pharmacy workshop in Richmond Park, which is about as far from us as it is possible to be and still be in the same city so we needed to leave early. She went in to do her thing and I walked for an hour in Richmond Park in glorous autumn sunshine! She really enjoyed the workshop. The children dressed up in Victorian caps and aprons and were shown how to make extracts of various substances, tooth powder from salt, spearmint and something Hannah claims was icing sugar but seems an unlikely ingredient in tooth powder to me! They also used pill rolling gadgets like this to make pills from playdoh! The printed label on the box says "Not to be taken".
I had to rush her away from new friends she'd made and we made a valiant effort to get back across London in just over an hour to get to her first LAMDA class. Poor thing; she was so excited about starting and then we missed half of it because of traffic! She has to make a selection from about half a dozen short monologuesand I'm trying not to influence her unduly in favour of the Anne of Green Gables piece, just because I love the books so much! She's wary of needing to do a Canadian accent, but it's the easiest to act, in my opinion.After LAMDA, we raced off again to Irish dancing.
After all the running about I was too tired to write it up!
Then actually there was probably plenty of time to blog, but Hannah is coldy and floppinng about not doing much and all we've done is go to the cinema as part of National Schools Film Week. DH took her to see The Lorax yesterday and I finally got to see Brave with her today! Brilliant! Also we saw a family we used to see at Mad Science and it's always nice to catch up with the people we see only sporadically!
