The phone rang at half nine this morning and I catapulted myself out of bed, aware that I was signed up for emergency support this weekend, but that it wasn’t supposed to be needed. It was, but there was nothing I could do, but by then I was well and truly up. Made time to bake with both children – I have pictures, but it’ll have to wait until I can be bothered to get them off the camera. Small baked scoobie snacks and Big made cheese scones – they were both very happy with this.
The programming below was with small – not sure how much he is grasping of the concepts behind what he’s doing, but some of it is certainly going in, and he was thrilled to see it on both our blogs. Big wants to do more on her blog, but I’m not sure she’s got round to any of it today. She’d also like ppl to read it, but I’m hesitent to just link direct, as her reading is far more capable than her understanding of issues like spam. So if any of you known to us have children who would like to read it, I’m happy to send a link on, please leave a comment 🙂
(This might also encourage her to write in it more – vicious circle at the moment in that she wants to write, but can’t see the point when there’s noone reading it, and I can quite get where she is coming from).
Retired to bed shattered again around 4 ish, slept for a while, then woke up and read Temeraire: Throne of Jade (Temeraire 2)
Excellent book, really recommend it, although Tim laughed at me when I suggested he read it 🙁
Enjoying reading the blog of another favourite author – Robin Mckinley
can be found on livejournal. If you haven’t found her books yet and you enjoy fantasy at all, I can’t think where you’ve been, and you ought to rectify the matter immediately. I’ve no idea why she has such a low profile tbh, it’s confused me for years, and from what she writes, it confuses her too. That’s what is behind her launching the blog apparently, so please go read, and go read her books as well 🙂
Tim says he’s found a petition for me to sign, think I’ll go investigate.
