ABA meeting in the morning meat it was 12pm before K and I were doing anything together. We built a tall marble run and had fun with that for ages. Read lots of books. Took a nap together (and for several hours afterwards in K’s case). Sang lots of songs in the car on the way to pick up B – K sang some, like “Incy Wincy Spider”, “Twinkle Twinkle” and “Mary Had A Little Lamb”, then wanted me to sing to her for the rest of the trip. I’m coming down with a cold so was losing my voice by the time we got there and had to stop. At dinner time we played K’s new favourite game – a variation on “I Spy” where the person thinks of something of a particular colour. A good half hour of whole-family hilarity ensued.

B: reported that she did a couple of hours work this morning at the farm, then pootled. Horse-riding 5-6pm, then watched Rollercoaster before dinner. She took a torch, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and a couple of Dr Seuss books to bed with her, and after being able to hear her muttering to herself through the door I think she read for a fair while before going to sleep.
