Gosh, the excitement … !

Still: it’s get ehe job done.

I have to admit to feeling a little sad: as Jude, my nephew, has decided to take his first video down.

He thought he sounded a little too dull.

That hurt a little: we put a bit of effort in, there!

However?

He’s decided that — when he’s over, tomorrow — he’s going to re-record and re-upload it.

I’ll let you know when he does.

Keeping up with eleven year olds is exhausting!
