May update

Not much changes but the weather. After weeks of heavy rain we finally have some sunshine!

Gareth is done with class but he still has about 12 exams to complete so he has a lot of revision to do. The girls still have about a month and a half of school left.

Tomorrow is the Larkrise Primary School Summer Fair and the girls are looking forward to it. Gareth has to work at Pegasus Theatre so he won't be able to join us.

Gareth with his first paycheck!

We have been taking the cats for walks as well. Bootsy (the older cat) does not like being outside while Tessa (the younger cat) really enjoys it.

"Let me back in!", says Bootsy.



 "What is this green stuff?", asks Tessa.

Wendy continues to work hard on her PhD.

Not much going on

As the title suggests there has not been much going on. Wendy was gone for four days in Wales with the Hill Fort Study Group.

The weather has been less than agreeable, however we did have our first thunderstorm in years.

Today Enya was asking questions about the sky so we drew a diagram of the different atmospheric layers. Bronwyn was uncovering her Velociraptor and I pulled out my book 'The Dinosauria' and we learned about the skeletal structure of the Velociraptor.

Ice Skating and Atomic Pizza

We took the kids to the skating rink today. I was the only one who knew how to skate but I had not skated since I was at least 12.

Wendy did pretty well for her first time. Gareth tried his best as did Bronwyn. Enya did really well however by her second lap Fiona was off on her own! She was a natural on the ice! I was shocked that I could remember how to skate.

We then went home for lunch and watched some X-Men cartoons and then ate dinner at Atomic Pizza.
