Bev left for a week at her mum's yesterday morning, so today has been weird. I was thrilled to say the least that the puppy (Monty) didn't wake up at his usual 7.30 am slot and slept like a good dog until 9.30am - result! I wasn't exactly looking forward to dragging Charlie out of bed at 7.30 so I could feed Monty and then walk him! I swear that dog just *knows* when Bev's here and howls just for her! Charlie excelled at pooper scooping today for me as he appreciates with my knees and back it's not the best job for me - and he didn't even complain!
We enjoyed two walks today with the dog and then Charlie settled down to his new routine. My parents bought me a DAB radio as one of my christmas presents and this means I have been able to introduce Charlie to the delights of Little and Big Toe. So on goes the radio at 3pm and Charlie settles down with his Maths and English work books whilst listening. Bizarely it seems to have the incredible effect of his "work" getting finished far more quickly than I ever imagined and even Maths is easier! It's a delightful 3 hours of childrens programes and Charlie loves it.
Charlie has also been religiously studying the Shipwrecks book I got him from christmas over the last few days, he loves it. I've just ordered him Wizardology
and this book about the Titanic for his birthday as he has been coveting both in Ottakars for a while but the other day they were out of stock!
