Weve all been doing lots of reading. Yesterday Charlotte finished listening to ‘The Wish List‘ audiobook by Eoin Colfer. Never seen her quite so involved in a story as she got towards the end there! I was very naughty and ordered Stephen King’s new one Cell. Haven’t read any of his for years and its really gripping, horrible too of course – had somewhat forgotton quite how graphic he can be. Very exciting though… Daniel has been reading all sorts of things too numerable to mention though he is getting quite animated about the science site mentioned yesterday and factoiding us every so often.
The cheapie dancemat I nabbed on ebay at the weekend arrived this morning (wrapped in bright pink birthday paper – nice touch!). Brilliant fun – will be very good for coordination too I can see – would that be ‘foot-eye coordination’? Up to my Mums for lunch today which was nice – Daniel and my Dad spent lots of time talking science. Now off to walk with Toby through the rain and mud

a great storehouse of food growing knowledge from Dirty Nails :)
