Chugging along

i have blog posts wrestling in my head to be first ones out! But it is going to be my account of the days! Yesterday we went to Merry’s and basically the girls played and we chatted [sobbed]. missed BB’s swimming lesson unfortunately SB still did judo tho. [editing to add, yes, it was a lovely day of chilling with a good friend x x we nattered, did a bit of grieving, a bit of gossiping, a bit of forward planning and the girls did playing, board games, imagination etc and BB and J were fab together and the rest got there after a shaky start which is why we were late home, as the girls voted with their feet, and I wasn't in a great hurry either]

Today I had a lazier start, with SB having slept in our bed last night, finally going to sleep at half past 1! Our book people order arrived I went to GP, and will now have to chat to occ health to see if can return without on call first. [appt arranged by work, should find out when 2moro], have some more time till can be organised, but starting to feel i could go back to the normal work bit, find my feet again, and then add the stressful out of hours bit. .

Girls and i decided to do some home ed in the conservatory, as nice and warm there. BB did some music theory and then some explode the code 1, and SB some galore park geography and recorder prac. We haven’t tried the galore park geography before, but talked about it, and SB thought she would give it a go. we did it quite a bit together to start with, as it begins with map reading, and we spent a while consolidating how to find the coordinates. once she got the hang of it it was fairly easy and fun, so she thinks she will do it again.

She also wants me to find nice italian workbook for her – argh. no hurry tho – phew! any suggestions? had a look on here, but so hard to tell! Made harder by the fact that I don’t speak Italian! SB recorder playing seems to have suddenly improved a lot as well enjoyed her playing today. BB had finished 10 ticks, so got to choose a book – a cartoon version of chaucers Canterbury tales – lol! Fab book!!

we played with rabbits and then [after washing hands!] had lunch in the conservatory as well. it is going to make a great HE space! After lunch we have got onto chapter 5 finally in Story of the World 1! [woohoo!!] for SB and BB, then started dismantling the playroom, as the painters need to go in there next BB off to gym, SB did piano prac and then we played landlock and rummy and then I took SB to gym [it is still quite an effort actually to leave the house tho]. BB returned with chris, and started to make a card for Uncle M [we forgot his birthday ::(: ] out of felt, needle felting it to make a pic, and it looks really good .

that pretty much finishes off the day. oh, dinner was watching the first half of Prince Caspian, so a change from David Attenborough!
