Want to blog this
before I somehow contrive to forget. Small used an appropriate sign for what he wanted without any prompting – he signed “drink”. Wahey – communication!
I think that went fairly well 🙂
Think I’m going to be popping back for a second, more technical interview in a week or so’s time. So I should still be alright for Kessingland, especially as I stressed today that I am away that week. Got to get your priorities straight, after all! 😉 And of course I’ve another interview on Monday…
All around the houses
of the Puddles and the Portico! And although I took my laptop with me, it only came out once I think, so this is all from memory. Weds morning we went to Shirebrook, where the activity was basket weaving. Must take a photo of Big’s basket, it’s fab. Woven from cane, she did 90% of…
Lovely day out
off the path 😉 Newest addition is cute, although he didn’t seem to be in a mood for cuddles today – never mind, an excuse to go back! (Like we *need* an excuse, :grin:) And as ever, a lovely time had by adults, chatting, and children, playing. Didn’t see Big dressed up in school uniform,…
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 –…
round and about
Been working pretty hard this weekend, though not quite as successfully as I’d like, and so we don’t seem to have done much that’s terribly exciting. The good news is that Big is getting much better at entertaining herself, has begun to turn the television off, or request the radio on (! I’ve got a…
It's Dora day
And boy don’t I know it! very jangly stuff, isn’t it? So Big is concentrating on her language studies today, although we did read another couple of stories in the red nose reader when we turned Dora off for lunch. Small found his pack of pants, and was determined to wear them, over his nappy…
Been a long day
Sounds like it ought to be a song. Anyway. Hauled myself out of bed before nine this morning, with some determination that I would spend quality time with the children. And I did – it was variable, but there were some good patches. Big read a red nose reader story this morning – they seem…
Poetry and sneaky maths…oh, and a ramble.
today Big read another page of her book (we’re onto Goldilocks now) and I teased her into listening to some poetry. She really enjoyed it – after we’d done the first poem, with her sitting, eyes closed, to listen, she chose two more. Good stuff – she picked up on some unfamiliar words and we…
