so really seems nothing holiday-ish to me! and been working quite hard too. chris put the tent up in the garden, hopefully at somestage it might dry enough to come down! SB and I have done some reading on volcanos and pompeii, piano and violin practice. we have all read some french and watched bonjour mes amis. BB and SB are happy pootling along with french, and SB def getting some vocab. both girls done some maths also. Today we did science, SB chose the brainbox kit. BB insisted on designing her own circuit, which didn’t join, so stropped at the lack of light. when it did join, she then threw a wobbly about it not being so pretty, which i cuddled and jollied and then noticed had made a short circuit, so scorching hot batteries. At least it was me who noticed! SB investigated serial and parallel lights and used the multimeter.
other than that, a lot of playing in the garden, investigating cabbage white caterpillars and other bugs! Harvesting well at present, but weeds are ascendant!
