Kath's pizza recipe
Putting it here so I can find it again 😉 300g strong white flour (bread flour) 1 sachet of dried yeast Dessertspoonish of sugar Dessertspoonish of salt Mix into a dough with warm water, about half a pint possibly. I do it by eye. So put a little warm water in, mix it round, keep…
The good, the bad and the downright ugly.
Good: Primary geography sparking off map activity this morning, lots of jigsaw activity for both of them, including the 20 Word Puzzles that we’ve had for ages (that’ll be a reading activity then), cooking tea together. Getting an hour on my own with Small in the library (aw, he took his book to the counter…
Reminding myself – well and truly edited now!
to blog about these things tomorrow. Small and birds, cats, dogs and ppl. Small likes animals. He quite likes ppl, but he is squealingly happy to see animals. We walked to the post office on Weds (posted the Hesfes form, yippee!) and every few steps he would stop, smiling, to point at a cat, or…
Shh….
don’t disturb him! He’s only sitting quietly doing a jigsaw all by himself for the very first time (one of those peg board ones, think I got it for £1 at Hesfes last year!) Of course, the flash of the camera disturbed him, and there seem to be some pieces missing, so I don’t think…
Scenes of domestic bliss.
After yesterday’s less than educational offerings, determined to do better today. So imagine my joy at all of this being self determined! I think the pictures speak for themselves 😉
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…
Started the day
with a family row. 🙁 Not our little family here – it appears my decision not to trek up the road to meet up today didn’t go down well. Oh well – I felt the decision was justified when Big went into meltdown this afternoon *despite* (or maybe because??) me not turning on the computer…
Ropey start, but we recovered well.
Small is just full of cold – I hauled myself upstairs and steamed myself gently in the shower for a bit and that seemed to help. Once done with that, rolled up my sleeves, metaphorically speaking, and cracked on. Big did lunch again, while I was showering, and after it we successfully made cinnamon scented…
Aargh….
Well, today I have learnt that the work rate of a four year old is nowhere *near* that of a 34 year old. In the time it took me to make 10 hama stars, Big assembled the rest of one card….mind I have got it down to a star a minute (which I know is…
Ought to blog the day really
As we seem to have fitted an awful lot in. Think Big was doing her maths workbook before I’d finished breakfast. Turns out that the first couple of easy pages were breaking you in gently, by page 4 it’s onto series with missing bits, but she got the hang of it fairly well. Tim produced…
