Childcare issues: Too early, too much, too long
Guardian Unlimited | Family | Too early, too much, too long Not sure this will elicit much debate on here tbh, as I think it’s mainly the converted that are reading 😉 But I did think it was interesting. I am a sinner it would appear, as Big was in a nursery from 14 weeks,…
Come back Harry
there wasn’t much to forgive 😉 By contrast – my first response from Ms Engels: Thank you for your email which has finally come to me rather round the houses. I have received a number of emails via the Writetothem website, but I have no record of receiving anything from you, so I’m sorry that…
This here education stuff
must be careful to keep it education, and not indoctrination! Well, I ask you. Big chose a book from the sale box at the library a little while ago, an ancient tome on Reproduction and Growing Up. Today she wanted to read some of it, so we sat together and I read the pages on…
It's a strange day
Have had the news on most of the day, something I don’t think I’ve really done before. Not sure that it was a particularly sensible thing to do, it’s left me feeling rather drawn out and detached from our reality here. And that during a hectic day too. Got up early this morning and belted…
Education in and amongst
Taking another break as I’m somewhat downhearted. Was searching for resources to back up my (limited) understanding of bit manipulation, and on the site of the author of the book I’m using, javaranch, came across a campfire story purporting to explain it.

UK Election news and comment from The Times and The Sunday Times – Times Online
UK Election news and comment from The Times and The Sunday Times – Times Online If you read to page two, you discover that our new candidate was against the war. Still don’t know what she looks like or what she believes otherwise, as we’ve had no literature from her at all. Pathetic.
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…
wow, a real live politician!
An election candidate, on my doorstep! I’ve never met one of those before, and certainly never had one knock on the door. Could have knocked me down with a feather 😉 It was this chap Dominic Johnson Comes over quite well in person, especially when he got to the question, so which school do you…
