I didn’t write a blog post for last week because I got sick too (darned plague-rat children), but at least they were both still sick and didn’t really do much anyway.
Sunday 26 May
- D&H: neither kid felt up to going to the second day of rapier training, and didn’t feel like just coming up for the tournaments either, so we left them at home
Monday 27 May
- Dan: had a Tumblr post they wrote go viral in a smallish way (more than 1K users have reblogged it)
- D&H: had one final week off youth rapier, hoping to be back to normal next week
Tuesday 28 May
- Hugh: one-on-one swimming lesson
- Dan: received confirmation that they have been appointed as a Youth Ambassador to the Youth and Children’s Commissioner in 2019, and notification of the three upcoming meetings
Wednesday 29 May
- Dan: singing lesson
- Hugh: started researching a possible day of cooking only Lebanese food, but seems to have decided there’s too much wheat and meat/dairy/eggs (not to mention eggplant) involved in Lebanese cooking and is veering back towards Chinese
Thursday 30 May
- Dan: optometrist appointment (following up on contact lenses)
- Hugh: he and Izra discovered the downside of their free video editing software after several days of work – a huge watermark on the video which can only be removed with a $60 yearly plan. They’ve found another free one which doesn’t do that and are going to use that in future.
- Dan: roller derby, Silver Words
- Hugh: cooked Massaman Curry for dinner (with beef because the vegos weren’t home)
Friday 31 May
- Hugh: tried recording more game videos but ran into problems with the free recording software he was using
- Hugh: lit the fire without assistance
I changed to recording Saturday-Friday so it works in with my weekly dashboard on Trello, so I can update all the daily task cards in one go.
