Yesterday’s winner for the little black pouch has been drawn. I’m delighted to send the prize to…
Debra7134
Thank you to all who took part. And please send me your address, Debra – guylty(at)photographer(dot)net – and the pouch can go into the post asap!
~*🎄*~
And now for Day 7…
The new year is coming up quickly… and what do we need at the beginning of a new year?
A calendar, indeed. Since I have been pushing my own photos quite a bit already, I decided to use other photos for this one-off collection of handsomeness. And since Mr A seems to get younger every year, I have chosen one picture per year… (sorry, 2015 and 2016 are missing – no shoots to choose from). Here’s what you are getting:
Which one is your favourite?
~*🎄*~
To enter the raffle for the calendar, leave a comment on this post. The raffle is open for the next 23 hours and finishes at 12pm GMT tomorrow, December 20, 2017. The raffle is open to all, and the items will be sent anywhere in the world, at no P&P costs for you. Winner to be announced in Day 8 post of the 12 Days of Christmas 2017, tomorrow.
~*🎄*~
Lastly, and just for posterity: The first Ocean’s 8 trailer is out. Hooray – there is much more RA in that trailer than I had hoped. Now, there’s something to look forward to in 2018!

60 stands? Well, how many kids to a class? Do you need all those stands? Where are you going to store them? Have you got a stage in school where you could store them?

Initially, we had,a band teacher, so I expect they were for him. As we no longer have a band and no plans to have a band, they are sitting outside my room, waiting to be requisitioned elsewhere. I have 18 and that’s enough.
We DO have a stage – a lovely stage – and I have a proper piano there, as well as 2 uprights in my classroom. Dunno where the 3rd one came from.
There are 2 storage rooms up on stage. I have to wait until the gym teacher arrives before I can acquisition them. I have 45 chairs – I’m like- HELLO???? and I have costuming and such. I sure could use one of those rooms.

I would assume that the music teacher – who is involved in putting on shows – should have a room on stage for props and instruments and general storage. Hope you can get all the stuff in there. And whoa, they really splashed out on all the equipment…

Maybe it’s my automatic desire to see him, but I think that trailer needs more Richard in it. We can hear James Corden speak but it not him? C’mon, people! His voice would sell millions of tickets. Geez. *sigh*
Anyway, congratulations to Debra and to whoever wins that scrumpcious calendar. Yum! 😀
LikeLike
Ah, well – but it’s a film that is quite clearly intended as a “female” version of “Ocean’s whatever”, so from that perspective it is quite alright that they are not giving that much time to the male actors. Good point on the voice, though! That would definitely attract attention. But who knows, maybe they’ll have more in the second trailer?
