Sunday, Monday, Tuesday ... cos I can't think of a better title...

On Sunday, the Adelaide Zoo was celebrating Peace Day (which was on Friday). We downloaded their dove pictures to colour in because then we would get 5% off entry fees, which seems peaceful to me! I found info about peace bracelets which we also made. Red, black, white and yellow represent the four directions and different coloured people, and wood (we also added leaf and stone beads) represent sustainability. The boys gave their bracelets to their teachers. A photographer from The Advertiser took photos of them for Monday's paper but they weren't used. There wasn't even an article for them to go with!

I have been working on Waif N. She's a bit special because she's Canadian - no offence intended, the Canadian dolls are just a bit less common! They have two side tags - one in French; no heart sticker, and can have the pale or the peach skin. She is the only doll I have with the full fringe which goes all around her head. She looks to be in pretty good condition apart from a wobbly head; she needed more washing than I thought and I need to replace the stitch behind one knee. I want to give her a French name starting with N, but there don't seem to be many! Probably Nicolette or Ninette, unless you have a better idea...

I haven't blogged my room yet but here's the view from the window. :o)

According to a Google search, girls names starting with N are not very popular. Nicole was the highest rated about a quarter down the popularity scale, with Natalie, Natasha, Naomi and Nevaeh progressively lower. Top popularity went to Emma and Emily. Interesting names include Kaydence, Harneet, Macy, Simrit and Carys.
Mackenzie is fairly popular (sometimes with no 'c'), and very Canadian, you couldn't have her as the long-lost twin of the last waif? Or just add "eh" to one of the N names, for example, Natasha, eh? or worse, Nevaeh, eh?
Glad you asked for ideas?
