transistors and fimo

woke up with my brain obviously 2 sizes to big for skull, from the amount of pounding to escape that was going on. so decided that really only option was to swig pills and collapse in bed, which I did. A rather bad day to be off sick really but can’t be helped. i eventually surfaced at 2-ish, not feeling brill, but BB very insistent.

So read books, SB and BB did lots on the ‘puter. SB had done some maths earlier. SB and BB going through an awkward phase of shrieking, screaming and wailing at each other. not good for mummy’s with migraines.

got them set up with painting, and then went for some more quiet option. Then to GP’s for hosp referral. When I returned, to bring tranquility, I thought we could do the brainbox electronic kit. not quite so tranquil as SB chose to make the transistor radio, and there was a fair bit of shrieking argument over who was going to build each bit. But they did mostly do it cooperatively, and it worked. we then turned it into what SB called ‘half a telephone’ and took turns being the shouter or listener. rather cool kit.

BB seems to have a particular fascination with making things work and joining them together. I guess that we didn’t have the same toy around for SB at her age, and she had lots of fun with happy street, train tracks etc so i can’t compare. But she does seem to have? joy in making things work.

a quick tidy up and dinner, then when BB collapsed asleep, SB and i did fimo.? together. she wanted to make things to sell, and has done lots of twiddle things. so this time we made coasters and decorated a jar. Bedtime, reading and now prison break.

oh, and Chris has brought back some fish for our pond
