Hi Sandra,
Great to hear from you! Hows it going? The idea for the flashmob sounds like fun,
so Ill definitely be there! Ill wear some trousers that are easy to take off! We really
need to do something fun because weve been working very hard at school. Our last
exam is on Friday, so itll be a kind of celebration, too.
I saw a flashmob the other day with lots of people having a big pillow fight in New
York. It looked brilliant fun. Ive got an idea for one we could do soon. I saw people
doing a silent disco in London everyone meets somewhere with their MP3 players
and they just start dancing to their own music! What do you think? I think it would

be quite original because no one has done it here yet ...

Must dash! See you on Saturday at 10.
Take care,
Maria xx
PS Mum asked if you want to come and stay with us at the beach house this
summer.
