Marguerite and Claire went to their much anticipated Sushi making class. Learning new tricks is great especially when it involves making lovely food. Here they are at the entrance to the restaurant where the class was held.
This doll was the teacher.
Marguerite and Claire are all excited before they get stuck in.
And they're off......
It's like a scene from the 'Generation Game' as rice, veg and salmon goes in all directions.

As the clock ticked down Marguerite and Claire were under pressure, but they both managed to score top marks for their efforts.
Yum, yum, fill yer tum!
The next day was a belter so Marguerite and Jude made their way to the Charles river for a wee picnic with their ghetto-blaster playing their favourite tunes.
Guess what was on the menu folks. Veggie Sushi, Salmon Sushi, Ham Sushi, Prawn Sushi.............do you get the picture?
Jude had to eat it all day and all night, for two days!
Eventually when he thought Marguerite was not watching Jude made his way down to the riverside. When Marguerite asked him what was he doing, he replied, 'I'm just going over here to stretch my legs a little'. He began making moves as if he was stretching, swinging his arms.......like he was warming up for a game of tennis or something.
Marguerite is no dozzer though, she knows a bird feeding bullshitter when she sees one.
The Sushi was great, but after five packets of it (12 pieces per pack) even Jude had had enough. "Here quack quack quack, heeeere quack quack'.
The sunshine brings out the best and worst in Jude. The worst - well that's the turkey white legs which saw daylight for the first time this year. The best - well that's the auld Hurling skills getting sharpened up for the first time this year.
Check him out here running away from an imaginery defender!
On a pitch full of folk chucking oval shaped balls, frisbees, baseballs, beechballs and chicken balls Jude confused the locals with an impromptu exhibition in that art of Hurling.
The big crowd was breaking it's neck checking out the action.
Jude later discussed the game with 3 Americans, whose furrowed brows and sceptical glances led Jude to believe they reckoned he was a grade 1 bluffer. They did not believe: goalkeepers do not wear padding, the ball moves at over 100mph on the ground and in the air, players do not get paid or that the net is the size of a football net.
After 2 hours of playing frisbee, football, baseball, hurling and basketball poor Marguerite was burnt out. She can't cope!!!! Here she is taking a break on one of the cool summer seats.
Now that the ski season is over it's time to take things easy for a week or two. Here Marguerite takes it easy on Newbury St.
Later she went into this place and tried to sneek a sweet but Jude spied her and reminded her it was lent. Sneeky git tried to break lent but was caught on!
Marguerite then met Fred the Park Ranger horse in the Public Garden. He's a bit of a celebrity around these parts is Fred.
Nothing beats a good weekend breakfast spot - think TK1 folks. John, Karen, Charlene, Emma, David, Megan, Aideen, Michael Snr and Marguerite Snr will all recognise Jude and Marguerite's favourite wee breakfast spot in Boston - The Paramount on Charles St. That queue here starts out on the street and goes all the way through the long restaurant for about 50 yards. Yep, it's nice, very nice actually.
'Hey Jude, thank God the warm weather is here again', says Marguerite.
'Yeah, bring it on', replies Jude.
Marguerite and Jude like a folk rock singer from Wexford called Wallis Bird. They saw Wallis play live in Auntie Annies on the Dublin Road a couple of years back. Folk at home might remember her from a Sun newspaper ad when she re-released the song 'Just can't get enough'.
Anyway, Wallis released her new album recently (New Boots) and on that album is a song called 'An Idea about Mary'. Jude had read an ad on Wallis' webpage www.wallisbird.com asking fans to submit video clips to possibly be used in Wallis' video for her new song 'An Idea about Mary'.

and check out how Marguerite finally became a Rock superstar! Don't forget to read the credits at the end of the song too, oh and keep your eyes on the music channels, you never know you might even spot her there also!
