My word this week is play and you can read more about that below.
I’m not totally strict on using just a word or phrase but please try to stick to the theme of summing up your week.

MY WORD OF THE WEEK
Play

Play is my word of the week this week for a couple of reasons. I have just discovered that The Little Man is learning to play the violin at school. I don’t know if its somethings he will continue with but I hope he does. My eldest daughter played violin for many years and I bought her a purple one for her 16th birthday. Boo is learning to play the guitar with her Dad. I do love that there is music in the family.
The Lovely Bones
My highlight of the week was going to see the play, The Lovely Bones, with my eldest daughter on Wednesday. I knew I’d read the book before and it had had a big impact on me. But although I knew it had been a long time since I read it I hadnt realised until later that it was actually 16 years ago. I’d read it when my eldest daughter was 14, the same age as the main character Suzie Salmon. I think that’s why it had impacted me so much at the time.
I really enjoyed the play, it’s a sad but thought provoking story and I loved the way it was re-imagined for the stage. You can read my review here.
Now it’s your turn to tell about your week.
