Act 44: Carried Bags to Car.

"On Wednesdays I assistant-teach a ballet group from 4 until half past 7. Today was the last class of term, so we set up all the chairs for parents and friends to come and watch. At the end of the lesson, I helped put all 30 of the chairs back on the stand, and then carried 8 extremely heavy bags (full of twinkly crowns, fairy wings, pirate swords, silver boxes, ballet shoes, skirts and leotards) out to my teacher's car." - Immy x

The End of an Unproductive Summer.

Sadly, Immy and I have got a lot less done, act-wise, this summer than we planned. We thought having the freedom of no college schedules would allow us more time to get acts done, but we found it a lot harder to organise things when we weren't kept to a timetable. Plus, we've both had holidays at separate times (and other distractions that the summer holidays have provided us with...)

However, the holidays are regrettably over, and the acts can get back into the swing of things. Please accept our deepest apologies, we were drunk with freedom.

It's time to knuckle down once again...

Act 43: Wrote for a Book on Communication Difficulties.

My dad's speech therapy communication group is planning on putting together a short book about living with a communication difficulty. Because it would be difficult for some of the members of the group to write a contribution, family members were approached to write their perspective on living with the speech difficulties.

So, I responded to their request and wrote a small section on what it's like living with Stephen and understanding what he means from what he says. I'm not sure when the short book will be published, or if it will be only available in my dad's hospital, but I'll keep you updated when I find out more.

Act 42: Said Goodby to Mareike.

Today was the German exchange student's last day in England, so Immy invited everyone round to her house to celebrate and eat things like feta cheese and Rivita biscuits. It was good.

Goodbye Mareike!

Act 41: Waved at a Helicopter.

Today, when I was walking Cassie, a helicopter flew over us and we waved at it.

Well, Cassie didn't wave because she's a dog... But I did!

A New Plan.

So, as the more observant of you have noticed, Immy and I haven't been able to keep up to date with all the acts as we originally planned, plus we don't have any spare time (thanks for nothing, education) to go out and do all the fantastic acts we were really looking forward to doing! Therefore, from now on there won't be an act posted every single day, but rather the fantastic acts carried out a few times a week.

There will still be 100, more will be carried out in the summer thanks to the extra time, but they won't be done when we originally planned.

We're sorry for being silly,
But we'll try to make up for it in awesomeness.

Love always,
Chloe & Immy.

Act 40: Adopted a Dolphin.

Today, Immy and I clubbed together and adopted a dolphin. (I wanted to adopt an otter - because I love otters! - but sadly the WWF don't provide that service.) You can adopt your own animal here from as little as £3 a month! There's 12 different animals to chose from and as well as helping to save a species, you also get a CUTE CUDDLY TOY! Win/win.
