well, today def woke up feeling bluergy and grieving, and strove to get going! girls did a library visit, and miracle of miracles all books bar one found! SB did some smelly spellings and gruesome grammar – we have agreed on trying to get her english up to scratch, as she now does like writing more! [wonders will never cease], some mathletics and read a bit of a horrible science.
somehow time had shuffled on quickly with BB reading library books, and chris and I making a presumptive sexing of the baby rabs. we decided all but fudge a girl, as fudge distinctively different! [tho with all that fluff, hard to actually access the area required!] and we had a quick lunch before racing out for a home ed group Djembe drumming. i have to say that i needed to leave the house like a hole in the head, and had v stern words with myself to get into the car! but was so glad to have done, as it was a really excellent session led by ‘ian’ who was really good at getting it going and working, with various children fluxing in and out – in fact had been really well organised with a separate room for children to go into to break! BB was absolutely thrilled with it, having had to be a bit coaxed by me due to shyness. SB also really enjoyed it. BB had a break in the middle, playing with my rather lovely charm bracelet but staying with me, and after about 3/4 of the session [1 1/2 hours in total i think] SB said her hands hurt, and took herself off to do some galore park history, whilst i took over. so, really good!
when i got home, was rung by vivien’s iain rennie nurse to see how i was getting on, and wept all over the place. sigh! SB went swimming. BB and i did a bit of dig a dinosaur, a bit of snuggling and reading, and then SB and i played nordic ticket to ride whilst BB watched loony tunes, and we finished off the eve with david attenborough telling us about insects. BB going through a clingy and temperamental phase. have to imagine it is something related to my mood!
oh, and we were right in the sexing of the first 4, and feel reasonably empowered to sex the second litter when the time comes!
How lovely of the nurse to call. Very touching .
Very impressed you persuaded yourself into the car and very glad you were pleased overall in the end that you had been successful.

Helen, you are doing an amazing job of keeping things ‘normal’ for your girls. Your strength astounds me. Thinking of you all.
That’s an inngilleett answer to a difficult question xxx
