Lovely afternoon out at bowling party for another home educated child – dd’s first experience of bowling and it went well. As always ppl think she is so much older than she actually is – beginning to wonder what difference it makes. She just is herself and should it matter whether she is 3, 4 or 27? But we expect children to behave in different ways at different ages, and then also society expects them all to do the same thing as certain ages which doesn’t make any sense at all.

Feeling quite a bit brighter in myself today – actually got an amount of sleep last night. Long may it continue!
