Lenni's debut performance?
I was fortunate enough to have the day off last Friday, not least so I could go and watch Lenni, performing in her school nativity. She was cast as a 'cockerel' in the play "Is The Baby In There?" - OK, so it wasn't Mary or an angel, but none of us really minded!
What we didn't realise was that the three cockerels not only had the most lines in the performance, but they had a pivotal role, with lots of 'cock-a-doodle-do's! This meant that Lenni occupied centre-stage for much of it (you can see I'm bursting with pride here!) They even got to do their own little dance, which you can - hopefully - see below. Lenni's the little'un in the centre, if you couldn't already guess!

(I apologise for the quality - we bought a DVD of the performance, which didn't really do it justice, unfortunately, being out of focus for quite a bit of the time. Oh, and a piece of advice for anyone thinking of investing in a digital camcorder.. they're much like movies - if they go straight to DVD, they're probably no good at all!)
Back to work tomorrow.. I took a day off today to recover from the departmental Christmas Party. It's not often I have an irresponsible night out - and probably won't be again for a good while! Then, it's the weekend, followed by a mad rush to try and finish the Christmas Shopping!

Aaaw-school nativity. Shame the video was a bit below par but you're usually stuck with the one 'official' allowed vid these days. Cockerel sounds a good part too. Best I ever achieved was 3rd sheep and I didn't even get to say 'baaaa'.

Isn't it marvelous that I can watch little Lenni in her Holiday Play? The "cock of the walk" walk was well done!!
