Stringbean reads lots to us know, but mostly new books rather than old ones.
Last night she read one of the Percy the Park Keeper stories to me, i like these, they are nice gentle stories. Anyway, she was given the book with a? story tape of it by my parents. I guess when she was 3. It was one of her favorite bedtime stories for a while and I read it to her lots.
And now she is reading it back [wipes eyes].
And very fluently as well. Still bemused by how that seems to happen.

so have put on loads of photos. liked this one at the sculpture park.
well, SB wants to try out goats milk first. but if she likes it, she thinks we probably have room for at least one if not 2 goats, we could milk them and get most of our own milk. Not quite enough for BB as she drinks so much. Of course we wouldn’t need a cow as well, just one animal type will do. and anyway, we don’t have room for a cow. and they would only give us blue milk, with all the fat still in, and we need green or red. hmm, yes, a goat would be good.
we don’t really want bees, although we have some, because they might sting. daddy could get the honey, but maybe we won’t bother as we don’t use enough.
chortle chortle chortle on my behalf! we are raising a smallholder. possibly a good career path.

more splashing in pools! also painting outside and rocket making.
BB being 2. eyes shut and fingers in ears when asked to say sorry to SB! shouting I can’t hear you!
I got in most of the sweetcorn and some cucurbits. Chris potted up the toms into f9inal position. I gave the onions a good weed.
We ate the first strawberries – woohoo! nothing like warm from the sun in your garden strawbs!

i filled our 2 holey pools and lots of splashing in the sun ensued. we played games – including BB’s fav game of the moment, hisss.
First harvest of peas from the garden – well, 2 pods! and the first strawbs reddening.
SB had a sulk that she couldn’t buy some toffee, so we made some – more crispy toffee than sticky, but yummy.
BB counted to 26! [a couple of errors] she was counting her jumps on the trampoline.
SB wants to join the local trampoline club. a sat so not ideal, but she has really loved the half term trampolining course she was on, so i guess so.
BB still addicted to the usborne farm books, and also the little music book.
Lots of reading going on – at present titanic lost and found, what makes you ill and magic tree house ninjas, as well as whatever she just happens to pick up. we are going to have to start censoring the material left around!
Also some zoombini’s and webland today. violin and maths chugging along too.
oops i made a book people order.
Question – if we were to save and splash out on a trampoline for sb at home, or keep our eyes out on ebay, any good makes or suggestions out there?
