Saturday snippets 20 September 2014

{enjoying} a day out in London. Without children. Talking about books (new book from Lucinda Riley who remembers my review of Midnight Rose), and then having coffee with a friend. (Yes, me, having coffee, with a real live friend.)

{reading} Nerdy, Shy, and Socially Inappropriate: A User Guide to an Asperger Life. Which I’m in the middle of reviewing, so I won’t go on about, but just yes. Oh yes.

{planning} world domination. Or blog domination. Or maybe just blog writing. Probably just blog writing. But lots of it. World domination next week.

{not} drawing. Or folding cranes. Gah. Or sewing cloaks. Which means next week is going to be very busy.

{watching} Doctor who. I’m not sure why.

{walking} lots. I did over 15,000 steps yesterday. And pilates. Trying to improve my posture too – I’ve developed a click in my breastbone. I didn’t even know that could click. When it doesn’t click boy does it hurt. So I’m trying to straighten up, stretch out, and develop something resembling a core.

Snapshots

Big is getting some lovely early morning instagrams as part of her paper round. Small is working hard on his pokemon site. Smallest has had a great week. She loved the animals at the farm, and was so good with them. And then last night she started at the swimming club, and had a great session. Really good to see her happy about being in the water again. Tigerboy is really testing boundaries now, particularly finding out whether sorry is a magic word. It’s not. We’re working on it 🙂

I’ve put together a collection of resources that I’ve genuinely found useful over the years—things that have actually made a difference in our home education.
