Special Shoes and a Special Party
Fairy Shoes are fun to make - I made three pairs this week for a special order. While they are very time consuming , there isn't a pair I haven't liked and am tempted to keep myself. I first saw these fantasy shoes in an English Stitch magazine, and then we made some at a Hello Dollies meeting last year. Since then, I've been hooked!
We are now busily preparing for our trip to Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos and put forward our grandson'sbirthday lunch .... everyone enjoyed a lovely day together, especially the birthday boy.
Lots of presents for a Thomas fan.
And a cake ...
Aunty Nome and cousins help celebrate
And of course, big brother
Too much partying for some ...
Happy Birthday, William...

Celebrate!

On Sunday too, our Rotary Ambassadorial scholar Mayuko organised a Japanese party for our Rotary club and friends. Mayuko and friends, including fellow Ambassadorial scholar Steffen, from Germany took over my kitchen and cooked for 30 guests.
We enjoyed many traditional Japanese dishes – Is that cake really green … yes of course, green tea! Then, we were privileged to be the audience of a performance of Japanese comedy and songs. Mayuko really enjoys performing a type of stand up comedy. Well, it’s really sit down Japanese comedy as the performer sits Japanese style throughout the performance of jokes and funny stories! What a fun night!
Women all over the world will celebrate International Women’s Day on 8th March. It is special day to celebrate the economic, political and social achievements of women in the past, present and future regardless of nationality, profession, and socio economic status, political or religious beliefs. I will be attending our local celebration supporting UNIFEM which is the United Nations Development Fund for Women, dedicated to advancing women’s rights and achieving gender equality.
