Wednesday

• Dan: singing lesson – cancelled because Eleanor is sick
• I told the kids that what I would love most for Mother’s Day is not to have to cook anything all day, so they have started hatching plans. Dan is not mad keen on cooking but they are more enthusiastic about baking and making desserts, so the two of them are splitting responsibilities that way. Current plan is scrambled tofu for breakfast, some kind of vegie soup for lunch, and Massaman Curry and Salted Peanut Butter Crunch Torte for dinner

• Hugh: we played Ticket to Ride and talked about strategy after I won (again)

Friday

• Hugh: swimming lesson
• Hugh: I showed him how to make a cheese sauce so he could make GF mac’n’cheese
• Hugh: we discussed how the GF experiment was going and noted that his keratosis pilaris had greatly lessened in severity, and he reported that his fingers were less puffy and his knees didn’t tire/hurt after activity as badly as they used to

Saturday:

• Dan: songwriting sessions reunion at Peregrine School – cancelled due to low attendance
