*sigh* I’m crap at this blogging thang, aren’t I?

The last two days are a bit hard to blog about since I was at the homeschooling conference and Nannie/Grandmoogi were taking turns looking after the munchkins. Nannie said that yesterday B read Hairy Maclary from Donaldson’s Dairy and Hairy Maclary’s Bone to her, but didn’t do any reading today. Yesterday I set up the Smartkiddies maths website, and I think B did at least one module of that. They also worked a bit on the homework she was set for her horse management course.

That course is held at Gooroomon Park on five successive Sundays, and involves a mixture of practical and theory with an exam at the end. She will get a certificate to take up space in her portfolio at the end of it. Apparently they are planning on running four or five levels of this course, and if she completes all of them she can become a junior staff member there when she’s old enough. She also had horseriding tonight, and confirmed that she did want to book in for the games day next Sunday (24th).

As well as the basic academics with Nannie, B has been listening to a Harry Potter recording, playing Runescape, her keyboard, and her didgeridoo, and doing some quick programming stuff with E in which (I believe) he introduced her to the beginnings of the text-based adventure game he wants to write with her. Can’t comment on her level of interest tonight – Beloved?

We’ve all been getting sick progressively over the last few days. Gawd knows what we’ll get up to tomorrow, if I get any worse overnight then probably not much! Must make at least a vague attempt at organising a portfolio tonight/tomorrow, since we have a departmental visit on Friday morning. Blargh…
