11 April, 2021 cushtie_adminNothing Much In Particular

La Serpiente didn’t wake me at sparrowfart this morning, which was quite uncharacteristic of her. That meant we didn’t leave the house until 8:30, and didn’t get to Coal Creek until 9, but luckily that[…]

Rest day

10 April, 2021 cushtie_adminNothing Much In Particular

Last day of school

3 April, 2021 cushtie_adminNothing Much In Particular

Today was the girls’ final day of full remote learning; on Monday they return to in-person lessons (four days of the week) although to confuse things I have to drop them off at different parts[…]

Eggs and failed fools

2 April, 2021 cushtie_adminNothing Much In Particular

La Serpiente overslept and failed to prank us this morning, leading to tears of disappointment on her part. Maybe I made it worse by pretending I’d fooled everyone today – it took Destroyer to figure[…]
