I am going to try and learn braille i was suprised the bumps was on both sides of the paper just like with writing i thought it would be on one side. at the minite it feels just a load of bumps and just wondering how the heck will i learn this,but i guess in time i will. i hope hehe. i got a beeping thingy you put on a cup when you are filling with liquids at last no more burnt fingers brillient. and now have some dark amber glasse,s somehow they feel a bit better to my others. And to top that mum and dad took me to hobbycraft i got silver glitter glue and brown flower soft. so today i had a good day. how is everyone else here today? love Angela and monty
