Blackout and Slime squad #100books
I’m sure I’ve read other Robert Swindells books before, and if I haven’t, I don’t know why not. This is well put together, economic with words in a style I appreciate, while still drawing a picture of the time, the situation, the characters and the plot in such a way that it is all utterly…
SATs all folks!
I started yesterday with the best intentions to catch up on paperwork and blogging. We all know about best intentions 🙁 Ah well, lots of other stuff was achieved instead. As part of my continuing (ongoing, proactive 😉 ) campaign to improve Big’s self-esteem as she compares herself to school children and finds her education…
And still they came #100books
Few more reviews that the kids finished off earlier. Big reviewed There’s A Pharaoh In Our Bath! – her third Jeremy Strong of the week I think. And I took a look at the fourth Astral Legacies book, The Elephants’ Call, as sent to us by Top That Publishing. Small read and reviewed The Great…

Questionaut, biology and yet more lego
So Big went away last night, dropped her off with a home ed friend, so that they could spend the day at UEA doing biology. By all accounts they had an absolutely fabulous time – she was full of it when I picked her up tonight. So that was excellent. Small managed mostly fine without…
AFK
Aargh, days are slipping by without blogging again! Tim was away for a couple of nights at the beginning of the week, which cut down drastically on my (evening) computing time. It also meant a convoluted set of logistics for the Monday evening activities – Big was picked up slightly late for her fun swim…
Blickling hall.
While we were camping at Deersglade campsite, most of our friends spent bank holiday monday at Bewilderwood. As a family we didn’t fancy that – we’re not good at queuing, and I had a feeling queues may be involved on a bank holiday. Instead I’d taken both our National Trust and English Heritage handbooks and…
