Saturday snippets 24 January 2015
{watching} Jericho (just finished season 1) and Continuum (just started season 2). Netflix has really broadened my horizons. We had #familyfilmnight on Thursday, How to Train a Dragon 2. Big in particular seemed to really enjoy it 😉 {reading} Nightbird. Just started it. Is drawing me in nicely though. And a good contrast to the…

{Watching} bits of the films daughter is watching with her friends for birthday film night. Including Dirty Dancing. Such a good film. {Eating} birthday party food. {Tidying} frantically so there would be enough room for 4 teen girls to sleep in the living room. {Enjoying} discussing books with C, one of the visiting teens. Tim…
Playing games
I have next to no brainpower at the moment. I didn’t even put together a proper Saturday snippets post yesterday – haven’t uploaded a picture yet. But I feel like I ought to blog. Because it’s what I do. I have things I want to say about what’s going on in the home education world…
Saturday Snippets 10 January 2015
{Watching} Ferris Bueller’s day off. So good. {Mainly sleeping} so completely fed up of feeling awful. {Reading} Not much. See sleeping. Picture to follow. Snapshots Big has got some charcoal pencils and is exploring those. Small is doing year 9 extension maths. Smallest is practising her reading and Tigerboy is launching into counting.19 fingers apparently.

{reading} Empire. {watching} Arrietty for our first #familyfilmnight of 2015. It was great, I could really get into animation of that quality. And for once, a film that held the entire family’s attention throughout, which is nothing short of miraculous really. It felt a lot closer to the books than other adaptations we’ve watched, even…

{Not travelling} to Yorkshire. We called off our trip last night due to the snow up there, and then Smallest was ill early this morning, so I’ve spent quite a lot of the day asleep. {Watching} I am number 4. Sadly not any better than the book. Although I liked the dog. I can see…
Saturday Snippets 20 December 2014
{watching} The Santa Suit, in the hope of sparking some seasonal emotion. Starring Kevin Sorbo, sadly wearing Armani rather than leather 😉 , it’s not Miracle on 34th Street (either version) but it’s OK. Definitely filled a couple of hours quite happily {suffering} the after effects of camp lurgy. Last week was a write off…
EUVAT and exhaustion
Since I got back from camp last week (this night a week ago I was detouring around Coventry I think) I’ve struggled to hit my writing balance. It’s no secret to regular readers that I find it difficult to keep true to the things I want to do, while also doing a bit of commercial…
Saturday snippets 6 December 2014
{Celebrating} my birthday. Which isn’t actually today, but tomorrow I’ll be driving a long way, so seemed better to celebrate today. {Watching} Xmen days of past and future. Which was quite gorgeous and utterly confusing. Or at least I didn’t have a clue what was going on. Which universe were we in? Kids mostly enjoyed…
Saturday snippets 29 November 2014
{playing} not playing, playing, not playing Candy Crush. There’s a reason I don’t install things like this on my phone etc, and it’s because I get addicted. Very quickly. I’d held out until Big put it on the iPad, and then I couldn’t resist any longer. 2 days later and I’ve uninstalled from the phone,…
