Today we did two more postcards – only a couple more to do (apologies to anyone who is waiting) and dd practised her ‘s’ as the one letter she does have problems with. Then friends came over for lunch and we went to the farm park again. We wanted to collect leaves and stuff, but there wasn’t much to collect – most of the leaves seemed to have some sort of blight on them which wasn’t pleasant.

Plenty of time to play in the playground though, and we made it back to the car just before the rain started.

Yesterday’s McDonald toy is a big hit – it has two touch connectors on the bottom, so if you join the circuit it lights up. It’s designed to go in water (it’s in the bath right now lol) and dd is having a wonderful time experimenting with it.
