Quiet day

Forgotten extra hour
At the beginning of the day, I am totally confused by the fact that the wrong programme is on the TV for the time.  I am trying to find Andrew Marr and the TV is showing MOTD.  It takes a while for me to remember that it is clock changing day.  Katy is happily watching Match of the Day.

Piano Lesson
Martha and Katy have their piano lesson this morning.  They are both sounding very confident on the piano.  We have a cheap and cheerful lunch - cheese and ham toasties.  I have aubergine pasta, made by Gee, yesterday.  Beautiful flavours.

I head up to bed, and I am delighted that Martha and Katy have learned to stay quiet while I rest.  Katy wakes me at the right time, which I am grateful for.

Homework
Revived, I turn off the TV and the computer games, and we tackle homework.  I am very short tempered, and have to calm down a bit.  Martha spent the whole afternoon on Chorlton Challenge - writing her news journal, and preparing a powerpoint presentation about how to knit.  She also has a fundraising event to plan and cost out - for Children in Need; she has a book review to write, plus numeracy, spellings, researching words with given suffixes, and multiplication tables.  I am worn out already!  Katy spent the afternoon making a leaflet about The River Nile.  She has done a good job of this.  Her next task is to practice spellings. 

Magazine Group
Katy has been given a place on the school magazine group.  She wrote an application in the style of a newsletter, and is delighted to get onto the group.

Katy goes paintballing
and Martha and I have a fish dish of Gee's.  Delightful, thank you.

Have a good week :)
