Last night's post
finished with: “And now I’m going to go work on some graphics. And study some java. Maybe do the washing up. Package up some ebay parcels.” I thought I’d update you 🙂 I washed up. Worked on some graphics. Didn’t do the parcels last night, but did get them posted today anyway. Didn’t get to…
And back in our world
hm, my blog appears to have disappeared under a welter of political links and news stories. Not quite sure how *that* happened. So what have we been doing? Well, took Small for his slightly belated MMR this morning – he was ever so good. I think he understands rather more than he lets on –…
A, B, C, D, E, F….
G! Thanks to Dora, Big spent yesterday memorising her alphabet. Or at least attempting to ;). I didn’t realise Dora was the inspiration to begin with – didn’t recognise the song, I’m afraid. And I don’t know it, so my help was limited to writing out the alphabet, lower and upper case, for her to…
Synchronicity
I’ve been toying with the idea of building a geodesic dome since someone posted instructions to a list (mp?) a while back. Felt like an outdoor activity though, but I was wondering about doing it at our puddlers group sometime, where at least we’ve got a big hall. Big is sitting watching Extreme Archaeology, and…
“Internet romances never work out.â€
Hm. Guess I’m not going to list NCIS as the font of all wisdom then 😉 Let’s see, what have we done today? More primary history. Another reading lesson, another few grey hairs. Discussed it with Kirsty later, and decided a new approach is required – I’m getting locked into another of those string pulling…
Achievements of the day
We’ll start with the darker ones so that we can end on a high note. Major achievement – getting through the day without throttling either child or bursting into tears. Not quite sure what’s the matter with me atm, must be partly stress related to the fact that I *still* haven’t heard about the results…
Where's Kevin gone????
Aargh, they changed everything on CBeebies, and for the first time in ages we’ve got Nick Jr on at bedtime – where’s Kevin and the bedtime song? What’s a Jimmer Jammer when it’s at home? Although it has to be said that Small seemed to rather enjoy it, he was bopping away with the best…
Here's a tip
in case there is anyone else out there as utterly misguided as me. Don’t try to go shopping and for a haircut with two small children, not when the shopping and haircut are kind of time critical. 🙁 It’s been a long day. Started this morning with Big deciding that today, the day we had…
Good weekend.
Big was out for the night Friday night, then I picked her up for swimming Saturday morning. Slight glitch was that it was her teacher’s birthday so she’d taken a day off, and there was a standin. The good news is that this was the chap who taught Big in the summer, lovely man, and…
I think we're on a roll
And this is the post I was trying to write last night to prove it. Hope I can remember everything that we did yesterday! I know that Big did this: really impressed at how well she concentrated on it – especially as she didn’t start it til bath time! She thought hard about the colours…
