Tim has just rung to say he’s on his way home. Riding in a truck, on the back of a lowloader. Looks like tomorrow’s Eureka trip will be postponed – the mondeo is out of action with an immobilised immobiliser. 🙁
Ah well, guess they’ll reschedule for later in the week.
The kids and I have had a lovely afternoon playing with mic-o-mic – working together to build it. I haven’t excavated a single area of the house, and I don’t feel (particularly) bad about it. And now it’s tea time.

Need support for your home ed journey? Looking for tutoring for your young person? Have an idea for a collaboration? I’d love to hear from you!
After 20+ years of home educating my four children (two now adults), I’ve gathered a wealth of experience that I’m passionate about sharing. Beyond blogging and guest writing, I offer several services designed to support families on their home education journey.
I’ve put together a collection of resources that I’ve genuinely found useful over the years—things that have actually made a difference in our home education. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to freshen things up, there’s something here to help. These are the tools, guides, and materials I’d recommend to a friend, because they work.

Oh no to the car 🙁 Mic-o-mic looks pretty cool. Is it like mechano?
it’s easier than meccano in some ways – there’s only one type of joint really. The instructions are a bit bizarre – you get a flat plan of all the pieces and how they lay out, then a picture on the box that sort of shows it being built up. And that made no sense at all.
I really wish I’d bought more of them when I saw them in the works though, they’ve gone down a storm here, and meccano doesn’t really.
