Yesterday
Yesterday morning, I:
Ate bananas
Sang silly songs
Distributed felt-tip pens, but these were nice new ones which weren't covered in felt-tip themselves, because we had few enough people for these to go around
Giving out and picking up palm-tree-shaped sequins
Wrapping a small child in yellow toilet roll and green crepe paper, to turn her into a banana
Slicing sellotape with my fingernails
Finding scissors
Kidnapping Mayor Nana
(and all the other kinds of things you do, when put in joint control of a group of just over half-a-dozen reception-class (5-6 year old) girls, in a church, within the theme of Banana Island.)
After a quick break for lunch, in the afternoon I mostly played chess - or rather, 'short chess', which is like chess except with extra castles instead of all the complicated bishops and knights, and a 6x6 board. Generally, I ended up stalemated. By children that ranged from vastly younger than me to considerably younger than me. Some of them won.
Yesterday afternoon was also when I was first talked at by a small boy (Y1 or 2 - so about 6-8 years old) whose opinion was that I was 'very pretty and nice', and who wanted to come to my house and play. I managed to sidetrack him until his parents took him home. (Today he came over to me again, and tried to interest me in the games on his Playstation, in the hope that I'd visit him. I managed to have a harmless conversation about X-men instead, but he said he'd look out for me in church. Scary.) He seemed to think he'd never seen me before this week, which is rather odd given that he's in Cosmic, which I helped out with for quite a while rather recently... hopefully this means he won't recognise me in church, but I doubt it.
