{watching} Holes. Which was excellent. Based on the novel by Louis Sachar, the screenplay is by him too, which explains why it’s so true to the original. Appealed to both the older children as well as both adults, a good choice for a slightly older family.
{Reading} Milly Molly Mandy at bedtime. Although naked Trevor made an appearance earlier. I’m trying to read city’s son by Tom Pollock, but I keep finding myself in different rooms to it somehow.
{Cleaning} the bottom of the fridge out. And vowing to stop buying short dated ready prepared salad.
{Shopping} early, which proved to be a mistake as every aisle in Lidl had either a container, a bin or both. Dodgems with trolleys so much fun.
{Cooking} roast pork for dinner. Which at least deals with itself while we’re film watching.
{Feeling} mainly tired after a very broken night last night. Not quite sure where the evening has gone either.

Big had two achievements today, negative and positive. She had her first DQ (disqualification) at a swimming gala, a shame as she was on for a cracking time. But then she did her first 400 IM and was very happy with the time for that. Small is working on the design for his first minecraft mod. Smallest is beginning to sneak some reading in to every day life – I’m still not sure whether she’s memorising or reading, but it’s a step on the way either way. And Tigerboy is definitely learning to read, one letter at a time. He’s spent ages this week with the letter jigsaws, and when he completes a word, he points at the letters, and then takes a stab at saying it. Wahey – speech approaching!
