After our trip to the library, we went for a walk by the river, and a picnic lunch. Really beautiful at the moment, and this time of year brings a clarity to the light.
We came across a tree on the bank that we did not recognise, with balls of seeds decorating it. Later, consulting our [...]

love is in the pond
Posted in general wittering, home education, house and home, tagged climate change, frogspawn, spring on 6 February 2008 | No Comments »
Spotted the first frogspawn today. Been checking the pond every day as I go past, and there it is today, so that’s 8 days earlier than last year. I guess there will be a bit of fluctuation, but it will be interesting to see if this earlier trend keeps happening. According to the woodland trust, [...]
a normal education…

Wednesday the builders left.. and the best bit is having our house back again. Nice guys, cheerful and helpful, and now we have a solid wall and everything, but very disruptive to our daily lives, in particular home education.
We have been out and about, whenever himself was working at home, and went to the pottery [...]
nearly a wall

The builders did come yesterday and today. They dug out and cemented the footing and today have been building the block wall. How do cats manage to find the only available bit of wet cement and stick their foot in it? Ah well we all have to leave our mark…. at least Ebby’s will be [...]

Our buff leghorn chicken has been acting strangely this last week. At first I thought she had gone broody, as I kept finding her sitting on her egg - typical as she is the only one of the four laying; good as gold, an egg a day. The cream legbar, layer of the blue eggs [...]

Surreal, carrying on with our home ed life, going off swimming etc, whilst my house is in chaos, and we have a missing wall!. But the home ed must carry on.
Whilst there was still a door frame, we were still using that, but now the frame and original (or what’s left of it beam) is [...]
wall mostly down, dust mostly everywhere

We found out Saturday night that we can have the services of a brickie to come and put up our new wall on Tuesday.. which is excellent news as we thought the acroprop look would be with us for some months yet. Bad news was that old wall was still there.. so today himself went [...]
amaryllis
Posted in home education on 11 January 2008 | No Comments »
on a more cheerful note… this afternoon my son and I planted his amaryllis bulb kit that he got for Christmas. These are great for kids, easy instructions, nice and manageable and dramatic results: fast noticeable growth and huge flowers.
The year before last we made it into a sort of mathsy/science thing, with measuring the [...]
