Pica

Leah’s doing her pica. It’s pretty good. She has to type sentences using the right fingers for each letter. There are five lessons each week and one test to send off. The full course lasts four months and finishes with one final test. She’ll then get a certificate. Sometimes she gets a bit bored with it but, bless her, she does it anyway.

The other night me, Leah, Jeanette and Ian nipped out to the painted lady. We had the two meals for six quid deal. I had rare steak. It was lovely. Leah’s friend Grace was there with her family. Grace sat with Leah for a while and they acted daft. As you can see.

Leah made this at Brownies yesterday. It’s cool. The snout unscrews to pour out the dosh! She says: 

“We got a milk carton. We cut the handle off and then we wrapped it in wrapping paper. We stuck the eyes on. We did the legs out of orange pipe cleaner. We stuck them on with white glue. We stuck the ears on top last. Once we had wrapped it up before we had stuck the eyes on, the leaders cut the hole in the top for us.”
