BBC news appears to have noticed flooding in the south – just had the most pointless phone interview ever with some woman who didn’t appear to have noticed she was on national news, and wasn’t being terribly forthcoming with information (not that she seemed to have an awful lot).
The Story of the World
has arrived, wondering whether I should have splurged for the activity book
, but at least the first chapter is covered from our 120 Great History Projects
as it talks about a shaduf, and I’m sure that there is a project in there that does one. So I’m thinking we’ll read the chapter today, then look at the project and see what we’ve got, plan to get anything else we need, and maybe do the shaduf tomorrow.
That’s probably all I’m up to today – depressed myself beyond recognition by reading NI in which everything in the world is the fault of ppl living the way we live. I really should know better, especially when I’m already fragile. More chain mail to crochet though, and that helps – doing something practical (however impractical it may be) does seem to calm me, or at least stop me thinking so much.
Hoping against hope that Big and I can work through a project together – she’s upset that we’re putting so much effort into Small’s costume and considering buying hers, but there are things we can make for a knight, and nothing that I could make for a medieval princess. Although I’m wondering if I can find any jewellry designs that would be suitable – we have plenty of beads after all.
