Facebookers of the world who while away their waking hours on the social networking website poking friends and playing Scrabulous can now read all about it – in a Facebook magazine.
Um, I don’t get it. I saw it in Borders, so I know it’s real, but I really don’t understand who would buy a magazine (well, it’s a bookazine apparently) on how to get on on Facebook.
Besides, why would you want to be reading that when you could be playing scrabulous?
I took a couple of hours of my last remaining day’s holiday today and went shopping. Remarkably unsuccessfully – the item of lego
that Big would like was in stock in toysrus, but in boxes that looked like they’d been drop kicked. I took one to the till and asked what discount they would give me – in a store where there are signs about HUGE DEALS and MASSIVE SAVINGS all over the place, they couldn’t even offer me 10%.
I left without the lego 🙁
Got to school early to pick the kids up, and Big burst into tears at the sight of me. Does wonders for your ego that. Turns out it isn’t so much me she doesn’t like as the journey that follows my arrival, but there’s not a great deal I can do about that, other than what I’m already trying to do, so I gathered her up anyway. Small was wearing a straw in his ear, well, sort of bent between his ear and his mouth – apparently it’s his hearing mask – and copying words out of a Spiderman annual. “Does he do that a lot?” I asked, and was told, “no, that’s new today.” I was quite impressed at the state of his handwriting then.
Wonder if that’s how he’s going to learn to read. Apparently he has read two words now, dog and cat, after making them with the sandpaper letters, copying them out and then deciphering them again. Then he stopped. It’s a start though, and perhaps he’ll stop saying he can’t read some time soon.
Missed some deliveries today – hate it when that happens. Think one will have been Big’s piano book, but we’re at a loss as to what the other one was. Never mind, have rearranged them both for Friday (Tim is going shopping tomorrow he says).
Two more days in the office, and then a drive on Saturday to a party. I can do this, can’t I?
