This week turned out to be a poor work week for SB, and we can’t afford to many of those this year! she did, however, have quite an interesting week as she had volunteered to be part of a medical research trial, which meant she spent the majority of tues and weds in the teaching hospital [including the night] having loads of measurements as part of a normal child baseline project. so many tests must cost a fortune! she could have done some work, but i think she mostly facebooked and watched tv!
weds bb and i spent a lovely day together, and then when SB came back we planned to go to the local snake place, but unfortunately when we got there it was closed. BB was quite devastated about this, as this is the second time we have got there and it is unexpectedly closed. so we arranged to go to a local farm that has a few crocodiles and miscellaneous other animals! [it mostly is a farmer/butcher, the crocodiles were a side line that didn't take off!] it satisfied BB anyway 
i was glad to have bb out and happy, as this week she has been very reluctant to leave home, so not gone to swimming or cubs 
She did have her french lesson with tutor and clarinet on the thursday, and both of these went really well, and she has some work to do! bb went shopping for new shoes at this time, and is really happy with some cool brown boots with mustard lining. also so M and the r’s – all happy with that! Apparently it took most of friday to pack – rolls eyes!
I asked C if she was interested in the hospital study but she said SB is a much braver person than she is and declined without considering it at all! The money didn’t sway her either, would sway me – I wonder if they want people for a baseline 40-something study :-). It was the overnight bit C didn’t like the sound of.
I like seeing the pic of the croc – saw them long ago when very small. Quite pleased the meat idea didn’t take off. I guess they’re now very expensive pets of a sort. Good job they have butchery off cuts to eat.
