19th November
Christmas has arrived in Exeter - it´s official! The lights have been officially switched on and at the weekend we went to watch Santa´s grand procession into town. His sleigh was pulled by real reindeer - we of course were not impressed since we have plenty of them back home - and there were "snow" machines on the roofs of the shops blowing foam snowflakes down onto the shoppers. We had a bit of a giggle about that too!
Tonight, Thomas´s first tooth fell out so I was able to get him to bed early on the pretext of waiting for the English tooth fairy - otherwise I probably wouldn´t have found time to write this! I have now handed in two assignments (Creativity in the Arts and A Comparative Study of the Curriculum for Music in England and Iceland) and have started writing my third, which I´m going to try and finish in the next three weeks so I have less to do over Christmas. Wish me luck....
