He's doing very well in school, and he loves learning to dance. I bought a handbook for ballet dancers, which is currently wrapped and sitting under the Christmas tree. There's some basic stuff, a bit of which he already knows. But there's some advanced skills, too. I think it will help him with independent practice at home.

Hello young Albert

I need to get myself organised for Christmas. All the serious presents are organised but I need to get some small gifts, mostly because it’s all about contributing to big presents this year. Easy but a bit boring if there is nothing to unwrap. My nephew wants money to help buy a car so I got him $1 billion. That’s should do it. Well it is a $1 billion Zimbabwean dollar.

Don't spend it all at once…

Good joke with dollar

I've found a great notebook for dad specifically for bike rides in which he can put pictures, write notes about the itinerary like sleeping and food addresses, altitude, the number of kilometers per day... etc. Along with a map book with all the bicycle roads in france. 

My brother only wants Mangas but I'd like to get him something a bit different too. And for his girlfriend I'm thinking a crakers with some makeup things in it.

We know you can write a good story, no excuses 

Just spent too much time on the computer. My eyes ached and so did my head... so I watched TV.   True story.

When I checked the real 100 trillion dollar note cost about AUD$300. I got the one billion dollar note for about $9 plus postage. I have put it in a frame

I will help with the car as well  

He managed to find a newish car with a burnt out motor. A guy a few years older than him got the car as a birthday gift and burnt out the engine in 3 days. Just 3 days

Mum and I baked two more types of Christmas cookies this morning. We're sticking to two or three types a day so as not to overtire her. We completed seven kinds now, sour cream sugar, M&M, Aunt Katie (a butterscotch pecan cookie from mum's great aunt Katie's recipe), chocolate chip, orange pecan, a drop shortbread butter cookie, another shortbread type with chocolate chips and finely chopped walnuts. Tomorrow we'll do one kind, the cutout cookie from my step-grandmother's recipe. We think it came over with the family from Ireland because it refers to the cookies as biscuits. When those are finished we should be about halfway through the list.

Did the frame cost more than the billion note?
