v difficult to get up and go to work, but did so. [though had a mad phoner on my mobile while I was there - i think it might have been Josie! I put it on silent - rofl] The beans did a bit of maths, not sure what else and then went to the playbarn to meet with a friend. they had a lovely time
When I came home, Chris was reading the tree of life [about evolution] well, SB read half of it and he finished when she got tired. Its a really nice book actually – the evolutionists answer to a creation story. I would recommend it. They then all looked at places on google earth – my parents are off to Syria, which started the search.
We did some violin practice – both of them. SB has a stiff bow arm, so am doing various weird waving excercises as well, being a swan, wrist sighing etc etc.
We read some more of the science encyclopaedia all about atoms [woosh over her head I think, but she liked looking at the pictures - especially the rutherford model]. We looked at the worm world again, they seem to be fine, and pulling the leaves down their burrows. Other than that mostly played dolls and loved me! [the ed is all bitesized if you were wondering how it all got fitted in!]
They also helped Chris make a pineapple upside down cake [BB only ate the pineapple!] All very noisy and wild. Early bed for all of us.
oh, a late update! we have played around the world board game [draw] and connect 4 – and SB truly beat me [rather than a tactical lose] for 1 game out of 3! Hooray. More britannia and ORT reading for bedtime stories, and she is now listening to Horrible Histories CD [so I might tick history!]
Yes, sorry about that. I can only assume it was my pocket actually, as i’m sure no one actually had my phone
No, BB also helped lick out the bowl, mixer bits etc. ‘ Lickies, lickies’ – though the bowl was still full of mixture at that point.
rofl merry [its helen] – I was bellowing hellooooooo as aloud as poss! so thought a text might alert you! I was quite worried at the time, when i saw you had rung 3 times – thinking it must be a mega emergency. Relieved to find it wasn’t.
tree of life book looks good – have added it to my amazon basket
just read your blog merry. obviously your phone knew you wanted to ring me really. I would have answered! hugs
You have cost me nearly ?70 by recommending the tree of life book!
Look forward to receiving it.
rofl rofl michelle – it costs nowhere near that!! mind you, I have way over that in my basket just thinking about it!
i do like it though, and def think its worth it. thinking about some other science books, early readers etc etc – money to burn I wish!!
I know, but I needed to make it up to get the free postage. And then I just thought sod it, I keep looking at this things on my wish list so I’ll get a few of them. It will be lovely to get a big box of books. (Unless they send in multiple parcels – I’m hoping for the one big box)
And is she in bed yet ? (00.22)
Who?
Oh Helen. The post title. Sorry it’s late. Watched a v interesting manic depressive/bipolar prog. I’m off now though. Nite nite.
