I had my life coaching session this morning – good stuff. We made another card – birthday card for a cousin this time. Um, struggling to remember the rest of the day – I know we were about to go out to post aforementioned card when my parents popped in. Dd was thrilled to see them, and they’d brought chocolate and postcards, so that went down well – right up til the point she couldn’t find her postcard album.
This evening ds has played quite contentedly on the floor while I’ve continued getting a bit of work done, and also hacked together the start of the photo tutorial mentioned below. I know it’s rough, feedback required to improve it please. Which part of showing piccies on blogs gives ppl problems then?
And other than that, home ed sparked off yet another weird and wonderful conversation – discussing books to read to dd at bedtime (she’s almost through The Magic Faraway tree for the second time) we segued (do like that word) into a discussion about the decline of religion versus the rise of fascination with magic – Harry Potter, Buffy, Most Haunted, you name it really. Dp is of the opinion that magic is quick fix – ppl are too lazy to work for something so hope for a magic happening that gives them whatever, while I hold to the opinion that ppl are always looking for something unexplained to believe in, and religion for whatever reason (probably because of the having to be good bit) is going out of fashion and magic a la Charmed is coming in.
I don’t think that that summarises it anywhere near well enough, but it was an interesting conversation anyway.
