However Ian got a statement from the Extremadura Artisaños people yesterday showing that we have sold a couple of things. They appear to report three monthly – or at least Ian received a three month statement, I guess that could be because we are new. I think that we sold a couple of acorn earrings and a silver necklace in the last month. The total was about 100 euros, but we will only get half of that after tax and the commission is taken off. But at least it’s a start, albeit slow.
I intend to sell it elsewhere and still plan to spend my next break from classes getting this sorted. I think I will break for a couple of weeks at the end of June between the end of school and the start of summer classes. I’m starting to take names now for summer classes. I’m not sure how many I’ll have this year. Some of my students come from other villages so I am guessing they won’t continue in the summer.
It is a nuisance for both of us when I have so many classes as Ian also is pretty tied to the house. It isn’t so much of a problem with the older children, however with the young ones I cannot leave them unsupervised. They once let Sam out into the road – by mistake – but when I was talking to a parent and a child didn’t shut the door Sam wandered out. I also left a couple of the young ones unsupervised a couple of weeks ago to get them a water, only to return and find that they’d managed to do something to the computer! So poor Ian has to be on standby too. Oh how good it will be not to have to give classes any more…
I noticed when I looked at the video that Ian took of Millie that she quite obviously does limp when she runs, I hadn’t thought that she did. However that’s not really important as regardless of her running style, she is certainly getting pretty nimble on her paws!
