So a few weeks ago, I took horseback riding lessons for the first time. I loved it so much, I plan to continue when I get back from vacation. Anyway, because I'm vertically challenged - aka short - I had to use a chair to get on the horse. On the first day of lessons, I got on with no problems. I figured the second day would be the same. Mafi mushkela ("No problem" in Arabic), right? WRONG.
The chair we used was a cheap, plastic chair. Genius that I am, I stood in the middle of the chair instead of the sides, like smart, normal people would've done. I hopped once, twice...then the 3rd time, BAM! My foot went thru the chair and I nearly busted my butt. Embarrassing to say the least. The nasty bruise I got is just now going away. It was all in fun, tho. My friend caught it on video. I know, lucky me right?
Enjoy laughing at my expense. It was quite hilarious, I must admit.

I went to visit the Rye Primary school Library Enhancement group last Friday; a great bunch of kids - and needless to say, they all share my passion for books and reading!
They presented me with a poster that will be hung in shop windows in Rye when people borrow a Nim's Island from the school - because they hope that all the families at the school have now had a chance to read Nim's Island together, and are 're now taking the book out to shops and places in town. (How great is it that the school's crest includes a seal?)
I couldn't scan it all in one, but the school's crest hangs down from the book poster.
