Then we went all modern and got one of those tennis games that you played on the TV. We spent hours pinging the ball backwards and forward to each other in between playing 'real' table tennis on the dining room table. Wish kids were so easily pleased these days. xx Everyday life at Number 38https://www.blogger.com/profile/12945846951398052455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5101883877426552626.post-89868956751002512572016-03-24T15:15:04.460+00:002016-03-24T15:15:04.460+00:00That picture certainly has a unique quality.

My DH likes your school stories as he spent the last 4 very happy years of his working life as a school support assistant. He liked playground duty although the children seemed to treat him like a giant playmate who could run, skip and hop better than they could! Enjoy your hols when they come.

It must have belonged to an older sibling, the original pens were run out by then, so you always had to look around for a pen with a long enough "nib" to go down through the holes. So how much could you get for your string art, if you'd hung onto it? -Jenncoffeeontheporchwithmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17618627688821849806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5101883877426552626.post-54023835529601429332016-03-24T07:37:02.053+00:002016-03-24T07:37:02.053+00:00Ooer!
