Most nights i have to drive to the Sorting Office in the early evening. Living where we do, this mainly means a drive through middle class surburbia of a 1930’s sort – and perfectly nice it is too. Except at this time of year. For reasons only known to the perpetrators, during the months of […]

We’ve had visitors 🙂 Joanna has been over with her two, which was delightful. Didn’t get enough time to talk to Joanna, mainly because i had also invited the Beans to gatecrash but all the kids had a lovely time – and so did we. Great fun. Look on the Beans site for photos 🙂 […]

Must blog, if only because it has been so pleasantly mundane! I do feel like we are in a particularly enjoyable phase of family life right now, even boring stuff (in comparion to our busy summer) is just feeling very ‘right’. So, high points were: *Sitting at the table with Fran yesterday morning, while i […]

*Chp 2 and 3 of SOTW – do mapwork, brooch and selected from Chp 3 – otherwise, we’ll move on to something new. *Read some Celtic Faerie stories and perhaps find a bit more on Beowulf. *Look at Farm through Time Book. *Try and finish Horse and His Boy. Fran *Decide on next Badges. * […]

ARGH. Am stuck here sewing on Brownie Badges. Maybe this is just me but ARGH! The sash is narrow, the badges are huge; the sash needs to be worn across the body on an angle, the bages are squares with the design making them diamonds. So – if you line them up against the edge […]

You finding it strangely hard to write without some 🙂 🙁 😆 :shock:’s I can hardly function in type without an emoticon these days!

Peaceful morning of this and that. Fran is heavily into the maths rod pagers and worked on those for most of the morning, i pootled away getting a craft ready for group, Fran rewrote her book review in nicer handwriting, Maddy made a card for E and Amelie made an alien. That doesn’t seem much […]

First day without in about 10 days i think. 😆 Blog is undeniably getting a bit boring at the moment i think. Not only is everything going relatively swimmingly but the kids are actually asking to do maths, writing and reading. I’m not asking for family related conundrums, but i don’t seem to have much […]

Who said nothing more could happen today? I feel i really want to offload this, it’s been a fundamentally important day to me and so it is bloggable. But its a bit waffly and emotional so please forgive me just this once. Don’t pick me to pieces too hard. Even though i’m relieved, i’m also […]

So i might as well blog it. I finally fell asleep at 3am last night, Josie got up to play for 2 hours at 4am. Hmmm. So i’m feeling even more sleep bedriped (well, that is telling, that was supposed to say deprived, not bedriped!) than normal, plus i’ve decided to only way to deal […]
