lest we forget – chris not having blogged yet! the girls went to a sewage works trip last week, that was fab!
mon and tues were fairly laid back days i think? tues eve i joined the girls in the pool after they swam and we had much fun. bb v clearly getting better and better. absolutely confident as long as she can touch the bottom.
wed an extended latin etc. sb had clarinet prac with gina – thanks, enjoyed the group latin, and both girls made fab little pincushions – thanks merry. think the science went well, we did simple replacement reactions, with copper sulphate and then popping in either a nail, iron filings, magnesium ribbon or aluminium foil. was rather fun, and came back over time to see how were getting on. the smaller group did acids, and had to clean my coppers with tom ketchup/vinegar/coke +/- salt after a guessing game. tom ketchup was best wehn on own, but adding salt made everything much better, so we reflected on our enamel on teeth after chips with ketchup, vinegar and salt!! a good play in the field with the parachute, and then peeling off of ppl.
we met up with chris to have a meal at frankie and bennies and then watched UP. it was a really great film, i [as usual] blubbed most of the way through it, the girls were entranced and def worth seeing.
today girls are at c’s parents having fun, and chris has been finishing sorting out the frazzled wiring in the kitchen.
we went to see UP and by the end of the first 20 minutes i’d gone through two packs of tissues and had a soaking wet neckline. i really hate it but i cannot stop it! and telling myself it’s a damn cartoon makes no difference at all!
When we saw UP, M sobbed through a lot of it, providing much amusement for the rest of the cinema.
He was extremely concerned about the house, more than anything else!
