Now I want an art suitcase, too. With hedgehogs, of course.<br /><br />We should ALL carry around art suitcases everywhere we go for impromptu drawing and coloring sessions.

Not sturdy enough for an airplane carousel, but perfect for art supplies! <br /><br />BB, don't worry, C's teacher is very careful to only send her scholars home with one book a day. Her bag is all air and fluff really. And I'd be delighted to recommend a restaurant - Kampa Park (see kampagroup.com) is wonderful in the winter, do make reservations and do ask for a view of the bridge.Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02381204473168533313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8472241.post-55818731219224578672009-09-15T12:35:44.493+02:002009-09-15T12:35:44.493+02:00I see the Czech schools impose the same cruel regi...I see the Czech schools impose the same cruel regime as the French schools. Quite recently there were questions asked in the French parliament about the loads of books children were required to carry. Apparently there is no individual book storage in the schools; this is why I've seen French children labouring home under the weight of enormous rectangular shoulder satchels, clearly filled with things like dictionaries. A sort of <em>Kraft durch Freude</em>. OK if you want C. to excel as a shot-putter but those muscles will be a hindrance when rendering the <em>Les Adieux.</em><br /><br />PS: Mrs BB and my younger daughter will be visiting Prague for a couple of days just before Christmas. It's my job to book them in for a super-dooper dinner - expense no object; indigenous cuisine preferred.
