Ages and ages ago I was going to do a shuffle playlist post. Only at the time I didn’t use Spotify, just listened to Internet radio. So I forgot. Then we got a family Spotify account (educational expenditure when you’ve got two kids doing music performance). And Big built me a playlist, just so I […]

Musical charity challenge.

To get to Grade 1, on a new instrument in about three months. Big wants to learn guitar. I don’t mind what I play. Dp is considering joining in and learning recorder. I’m the only one with any musical experience, I’ve got grade three on violin and piano, and grade one theory. We’re not precisely […]

Aargh, days are slipping by without blogging again! Tim was away for a couple of nights at the beginning of the week, which cut down drastically on my (evening) computing time. It also meant a convoluted set of logistics for the Monday evening activities – Big was picked up slightly late for her fun swim […]
A tale of two children.
November 5, 2009 By 8 Comments
My children are very similar, and very different. I’m often accused of cloning, which I find amusing now that they are growing up – Big’s hair has darkened and her blue eyes are now brown. Small is still blond and blue eyed, but they are so very obviously brother and sister. Stick their half sibling […]
Another week sails by.

Wednesday was Maths, English and comparative religion. Well, comparative in that we compared it to the theory of evolution we’d looked at over the previous couple of days 😉 Small didn’t think much of it, he likes evolution, and keeps drawing little cartoon strips of how creatures could have got from one celled amoeba to […]
autonomy vs peace and quiet…

I have been waiting since January for my children to deschool, stop watching endless CBBC or playing on mind numbing websites, for them to show and develop some interests and learn to get along instead of screeching and bickering all day. I’ve run out of patience 🙁 Maybe I don’t respond in the right way […]

Didn’t have a good night’s sleep last night, so was reluctant to start the day today. Am told by Tim that I missed Small strumming his guitar this morning, but there you go. Once I was down and breakfasted, the whole family collaborated over yet another Science School project, this time he wanted to make […]
Slightly soggy Saturday with science and music.
August 3, 2009 By 1 Comment
Occasionally, it rains here. Sometimes it rains quite a lot. Saturday was a rainy day – every now and then it dropped a lot of water, and then there were dry patches. Small is taking off with his Science School book. (Link to what appears to be updated edition, Science School) I can’t recommend this […]
