Friday Focus 15/05/2026 – Celebrations

We’ve enjoyed some celebrations this week, starting with my birthday at the weekend. It was an early start for me as Sophie had a morning rehearsal and had to be at the theatre at 8am. I had some quiet time on my own at Jessica’s forever bed on the way home from taking her to rehearsal which was nice.  After Sophie’s rehearsal, we headed down to my twin sister’s house for a birthday barbecue.

Thomas was excited on Tuesday as it was ‘Colorball Day’ (he told me later in the week that it was ‘Colorball Week’ too). We had Colorball pancakes for tea (pancakes with banana, strawberrie, green grapes and blueberries) and a Colorball cake to celebrate.

 

There’s been celebrations for Sophie with dancing this week. She had a dance festival on Sunday and came 1st in her character solo, 2nd in her modern solo and song and dance solo and 4th in her musical theatre duet. There was also a celebration in her dance school this week over some exciting news about an event that will be happening in the autumn.
