I like making flower arrangements in china cups. If you have a few flowers, or some flower heads break off a bouquet, this is a sweet idea to make a mini arrangement to brighten up your desk:)

Matilda

Who has read Matilda by Roald Dahl? The old book we have is a classic, and it’s now coming to the stage at The Civic in Auckland. Matilda the Musical opens 18 August to 22 October from $60 with original songs by Tim Minchin. I’m taking my daughter to opening night which will be her latest night out in life so far.
