dance and stuff

Not much happened this week, busy getting back to normal really.

Since we've been here I've been looking for a dance group for Tallulah to join as she loves her dancing. It's really difficult to find out anything about groups here, they don't seem to advertise and they don't advertise around the school, so basically I had to do a google and yellow pages search and then ring every number I could to find out any details. We visited one a few weeks back which was a disaster - they came recommended but the pupils turned up late (15 mins of a one hour lesson so missing all warm ups) and the teacher only managed to turn up for the last 15 mins and, as it was their open day, I was less than impressed about imparting my money there. On Tuesday we ended up at Dancezone and it was really good - weekly fees and no joining fee and, after one hour, Tallulah had already learnt a sequence. She loved it and wants to go back so we're chuffed about that. Dancing is a strength of Tallulah's and it does help to build up her confidence as well as giving her exercise so thumbs up all round.

Another thing I've been looking for since being here is a good beautician and hairdresser - I found the hairdresser last week and have had my eyebrows waxed in so many places it's a nightmare. On Friday I tried a shop in Port Kennedy, it was very busy which is usually a good sign but, what a nightmare, my eyebrows have been over waxed She didn't ask me what colour I wanted my lashes tinted and has managed to die part of my upper and lower eyelid. The facial in itself was good but she didn't tell me what she was doing or using, I didn't like the smell and she left me for too long due to computer problems and so had difficulty taking the mask off of my nose. I came away with some 'stuff' stuck in my hair that was tacky (she had no idea what it was - I think wax) and still bits of mask stuck on my nose.   No, I won't be going back so the search continues.
