Never let it be said that we don’t listen to our audience (well, actually, up til about half an hour ago, I didn’t realise we had an audience!) but just for you Merry, comments. Dunno whether they work – haven’t tried them yet, and as usual doing three things at once here, but there are now comments facilities.

So I shall expect comments forthwith!

Todays actual blog entry is short and sweet – we’ve done very little today as we were off to the birthday party of a young lady we met via MP. Happy birthday to B, happy birthday to B, happy birthday dear B, happy birthday to B. Excellent entertainer – Kimmo – would refer you to his website, but it’s offline at the moment. (And mailing him about that is on my list of things to do as well! ) Dd has been learning to work the remote control for the television – does that count as home education? It’s extremely annoying anyway!

Last night she wanted her own laptop out – my parents bought her a Vtech Discover notebook for Christmas. It doesn’t work – will have to go back to Grandma’s to be sorted (hope she kept the reciept) which was extremely disappointing all round. We’re keeping an eye on Ebay to see if we can get her a proper laptop – bet that would kickstart her reading and writing!
