A Harry Potter household.
We travelled back from edge-of-country house to middle-of-country house much later than hoped for yesterday afternoon, given complete waffling around rather than rapid packing yesterday morning. We were accompanied by the dulcet tones of Stephen Fry again, and arrived home with only 10 minutes to go, so the children sat rapt in the living room…
Sunday swimming
Another lovely lie in, although I awoke to perfectly horrid weather, rain lashing down and winds howling or something to that effect. Certainly not a day for walking to libraries or swimming pools, and the birdwatch was a bit of a washout too, though we did get a flock of seagulls at one point. The…
Things other ppl forgot to tell me.
Got a voicemail from D, stepfather yesterday. Apparently it’s the coroner’s inquest for my sister today, which obviously I can’t go to as I’m in CP, but various other family members are going to. Felt very excluded and emotional for a bit, but that was all wiped out when Big had a major tantrum (think…
Harry Potter and swimming.
Despite heckling and all the rest of it, I did go to bed positively early last night. I then laid there for hours listening to a computer rebooting itself with monotonous regularity and eventually got disturbed by Tim coming to bed and shutting it down. I then got up at 7 o’clock this morning. I’ll…
Defensive orgo planning
For pretty much as long as she has been able to talk, Big’s last question of the day has been “what are we doing tomorrow?” and my standard answer is “I don’t know yet”. I’m not a person who lives by plans, and my children are, so I figure that this time around with home…
Bringing in the cavalry
Saw the health visitor this afternoon, as planned. Had been back *just* long enough to open the doors so that we could be in the garden, but not long enough to change the smelly nappy 😳 Can’t recall at which point in the process we’ve mentioned home education to this woman, but we obviously had,…
Improving
And can’t help wondering if it’s because I encouraged a workbook session or two 😉 We’re back to the Exeter maths. There’s been reading as well, sitting gazing blankly at class tv (she watched two episodes, back to back, of a spelling show!) A little more string art, this is obviously going to take a…
Gosh, it seems quiet now.
As all the guests have gone 🙁 Small is sitting next to me drawing, and Big is working on a Hoobs book. I’ve caught up on the blogring, the washing is out although I’ve a pile of washing up to do. The weekend didn’t really turn out according to plan. Not that there was all…
Thursday and I've barely blogged!
That’s no good, I won’t be able to remember a thing 😉 Let’s see, Big stayed at Barbara’s after our group on Monday, and was brought back Tues afternoon. I spent Tues morning decluttering, reasonably successfully, and it must have catching, as Tim got to work on the back bedroom. 🙂 Barbara came round for…
I seem to have been rather quiet
I’ve been having complete chaos workwise on the ‘puter, as well as still trying to study for my java exam (which I’ve wimped out on and postponed for another couple of weeks) so I haven’t felt all that much like blogging recently. I ought to make the effort to make little notes – it’s only…
