Small did a sheet on telling time, plus a maths practice, and some reading, while Big did some copywork &#8211; writing over a poem printed out in jardotted which only elicited [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tuesday was Forest School, which surprised me as it has more often been on Thursdays before. Just as well I&#8217;d checked my calendar an evening or two before, otherwise we&#8217;d have missed it completely, and that would have been very annoying.
So I dragged children out of bed early (for them anyway) and chivvied them along [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Swimming has reverted to evenings, which should make for an easier Tuesday. Maybe. Certainly yesterday seemed easier, but that might have been because I got to lunchtime and keeled over, retiring to bed for a couple of hours!
Children played pretty much harmoniously all day, or at least, from when I made them turn the tv [...]]]></description>

Monday was a mainly quiet day as is usually required after visitors for rest and recuperation, however restful the visitors have [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Another day of petty squabbling and far too much screen time, with reluctance to go outside (it did rain somewhat, which didn&#8217;t help) which culminated in tears at bedtime when Small wanted to play as they barely had all day, while Big wanted to be read to. So instead I convened an impromptu family meeting [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve got two more morning swimming lessons before it switches back to evenings, and I can hardly wait. Small is not a morning person. Well, I&#8217;m not a morning person either, but I don&#8217;t actually throw tantrums about it.
Not that he was too horrendous &#8211; he does like his swimming lesson. Not sure how long [...]]]></description>

Obviously first of all we had to have traumas as she thought she&#8217;d packed the day before, but she&#8217;d forgotten things like cuddlies, and coats and purses (which she then couldn&#8217;t find) and so on, so there was a bit of [...]]]></description>
