Papier mache pulp, planning for professional development and the Veronicas

This morning we made pulped papier mache following the Helena reciepe. It consists of boiling up shredded paper to break down the structure and then blending it into a find of dough. Various curious ingredients got added like whiting and clove oil and actually the result was quite pleasing. I mashed it together with my fingers and bagged up the pulp I didn't use to stored it in the refridgerator. We made several bowls, different shapes and sizes and they have been left to dry out. Its an experiement and no doubt we will discover the best technique and the best recipe.

After lunch we sat down to discuss the professional development for Enablers package we are planning to offer. It wasn't easy. What was revealled was the importance of "reading from the same page". I don't much care for that phrase however experience shows it has some validity. When we have refined the proposal for this part of our plan we will publish it as a draft for people to comment on.

Currently watching the Veronicas who sang "Untouched" during the summer, press the button for the National Lottery draw. We like them. There is £4.4 million pounds in the draw....will Mark's ticket win? Nope, not this time.
