phew
doesn’t it take a long time to list stuff on Ebay? Still, 17 items listed, for 5p a piece. And like I said, many more to come…found a whole box full of early reader/ piccie book type ones that I hadn’t realised was kicked about. Will try to put a list together in case anyone…
"I don't understand…
why the library was shut an extra day.” It wasn’t me agonising over it, but Big. I was irritated, to say the least, it took us nearly two hours to get library books read, rest of them found, library cards located, right shoes with right socks (sigh), and so on and so forth, and then…
Taking a leaf
out of Merry’s book, been targetting my efforts this morning! Gotta love those red nose readers – Big is sitting on the floor right now reading one, and Small is on the couch looking at another. They are excellent! OK, quick round up of the day so far. Despite feeling like death only slightly warmed…
It's a strange day
Have had the news on most of the day, something I don’t think I’ve really done before. Not sure that it was a particularly sensible thing to do, it’s left me feeling rather drawn out and detached from our reality here. And that during a hectic day too. Got up early this morning and belted…
Bringing in the cavalry
Saw the health visitor this afternoon, as planned. Had been back *just* long enough to open the doors so that we could be in the garden, but not long enough to change the smelly nappy 😳 Can’t recall at which point in the process we’ve mentioned home education to this woman, but we obviously had,…
I think that went fairly well 🙂
Think I’m going to be popping back for a second, more technical interview in a week or so’s time. So I should still be alright for Kessingland, especially as I stressed today that I am away that week. Got to get your priorities straight, after all! 😉 And of course I’ve another interview on Monday…
All around the houses
of the Puddles and the Portico! And although I took my laptop with me, it only came out once I think, so this is all from memory. Weds morning we went to Shirebrook, where the activity was basket weaving. Must take a photo of Big’s basket, it’s fab. Woven from cane, she did 90% of…
Mummy, can I do some maths?
I love my daughter 🙂 She woke me this morning by asking me where the first man and woman came from, which lead to a good discussion about how various ppl believe different things, skirted quickly over a variety of creation stories, and landed on a discussion of the theory of evolution. Had to call…
Lovely day out
off the path 😉 Newest addition is cute, although he didn’t seem to be in a mood for cuddles today – never mind, an excuse to go back! (Like we *need* an excuse, :grin:) And as ever, a lovely time had by adults, chatting, and children, playing. Didn’t see Big dressed up in school uniform,…
Improving
And can’t help wondering if it’s because I encouraged a workbook session or two 😉 We’re back to the Exeter maths. There’s been reading as well, sitting gazing blankly at class tv (she watched two episodes, back to back, of a spelling show!) A little more string art, this is obviously going to take a…
