I can't believe it either Bob, the perils of having children that fall ill at the worse possible time.

Still, life goes on, Saturday the 19th is my new date.

I actually do the bury in 2 forgot about the 2nd one....its only been 4 days.
He did show us the double braid,looks a bit more complex! Gonna try and perfect 16strand before moving on. How do you find doing the double braid?

Doublebraid is a headtrip at first, but once you have the hang of it you wont want to go back to 16 strand!
