* keyboard practice
* helped me cook sausages, bacon and scrambled eggs for our not-back-to-school Big Breakfast
* made ice cream; talked about similarities/differences with the experiment of making ice cream in a bag full of ice cubes which she tried (unsuccessfully) yesterday
* gardening: talked about pruning and curly leaf, identified the sapling growing next to the magnolia as the same thing as the big tree by the green shed by looking at its flowers
* maths
* quick bike ride
* played keyboard while I put K to sleep
* reading aloud: Winnie the Pooh
* watched Pyramid: In The Name Of The King and Pilot Guide: Brussels and Luxembourg
(ABC); lots of cool info about the European Union, WWI and WWII
* gardening (potted up second big terracotta tub by her slide)
* played in garden with Katy
* swimming lesson 4:00-4:30; played in the pool before the lesson with some of the girls in her class
* visited Grandmoogi: got GM to overlock the top of the bodice B designed, looked at the pre-wedding pictures of Tim and Lily; I photocopied the first pocket-worth of activities from Ancient Egypt Historical Pockets book
* reading aloud: In Flanders Fields by John McRae. Given that the Pilot Guide visited Ypres and talked extensively about the campaigns there, I thought it was an appropriate moment to introduce this poem

Also worth noting is the conversation about the Space Race and the Cold War more broadly which we had on Sunday night.
