Today I spent time reading some of the non-magical papers, doing research, and I came across a piece in the local press about World Book Day. I am thinking it may be something done either not at all or at a different time in other countries, because I attended an elementary school and we didn't do it there. But, during the week the children celebrate reading and books and knowledge, and on the 1st March dress up in costume as a character of their choice. There were pictures from celebrations last year, and goodness, it was both sweet and amusing. I think my favourite was a very little girl dressed as Red Riding Hood with her big brother, who was in his teens, as the Wolf. Definitely a photo to bring out at the party when they both come of age.

And speaking of brothers, mine has been selected to start in the Harriers' game against the Leipzig Leopards, so I am hoping to get over to Germany that weekend and do the big sister thing. It seems that the German teams are now suffering a spate of captaincy injuries also.
