It often seems that just as it looks as though we might get into the swing of doing a bit more regular structure something happens that gets in the way (illness, a trip for example). Today, having had a very constructively busy day yesterday, Granny arrived for a few days, so I had anticipated that we wouldn't get much done today, particularly since we were having our haircut this morning too.
K & M both went on Pottermore while the other was getting their hair cut and Granny and Big Grandad arrived just as we were finished. After lunch Big Grandad went home, and K, M, G & I all had a game of Mystery at Hogwarts. I showed both K & M about the short story competition that I'd told them about yesterday. Although M is not keen on the idea of other people reading her story, and therefore not yet sure if she will enter, she has made a start by doing a mind map for her main character. She also came out with me when I needed to pop the shops and we went to the library and the park for a while before rain threatened. She and I also had another go at Cribbage, this time most of the time we played without showing each other our cards, although I did help for a couple of tricky hands. While we were doing this K did some baking, having chosen a recipe from one of our numerous books, chocolate chunk cookies. She had very little help from me and ended up with a dough that was far too dry, although we weren't sure why this happened, but we added an extra egg and the final result was pretty good!
