I'm taking some time to revel in the peace and quiet as Charlie is in bed, Bev is watching football and I'm catching up on podcasts from when I was internet-less - very pleasing.

Charlie woke up early again today - 7.30 - this is so NOT on!! I had to go to my 'rents house and wait for the curtain people which was thrilling. Whilst I was there Charlie finished his pirate map which is fab - but I forgot to take a photo so will do that tomorrow.

When I got back we went into town, did the bank and bills thing and then got a box from mothercare as I've sold my 3 wheeler and needed to post it in something.

After lunch Charlie got started on his maths and then his SOTW. Today's lesson was about the pyramids and he really does take it all in - his recall answers are perfect, which is reassuring as he quite often can't tell me about novels he has read! Today's activities were a colouring page, map work and mummfying a chicken. We're going to do an apple instead and are planning to do it at the weekend. He did a page of spellings afterwards and did very well.

Charlie and Bev had a lovely time playing Mouse Trap after dinner - he was laughing hysterically which is always a lovely sound.
