I feel so awful right now, I’m full of flu. I thought I’d escaped unscathed. Jen, Kye and Cady have been very ill over the past week. They are feeling much better but as for me, I think I’m going to crawl into bed sometime soon…. We went to our homoeopath and he gave us a wonderful herbal concoction that looks and smells rather like pond water. Well… this pond water has tremendous healing properties, Jen was feeling SO much better after taking it for a few hours and even managed to write her Life Science exam the following day. I’m bravely taking it now, it does taste dreadful but it’s worth it.
We’ve been busy for 3 weeks with June exams, they are all finished now and the kids went to movies this morning to see How to Train Your Dragon 2 to celebrate! It’s holidays!! I had some ‘me’ time this morning, I knitted on my cowl a little and then made these divine looking LC banting rusks I’ve been reading so much about. They’re still in the oven drying out, the recipe is on the Banting for Healthy Living Facebook page, they have the most wonderful recipes over there and they’re always having great discussions about LCHF too.
Yesterday, our teacher did some ink and bleach painting with the kids, they painted with the ink first and then added a tiny amount of bleach to the wet ink. The result was amazing, the bleach obviously changed and removed the colour from the ink where it fell and rendered very pretty effects indeed. They also added a dusting of salt to the wet ink, waited for it to dry and then brushed it off. I searched for ink and bleach painting on Pinterest if you would like to see some interesting art.
It’s been exceptionally cold here, that’s Charlie above trying to warm up on the kitchen couch.
I’ve started reading the Little House series to Kye, he loves it! I read these books to his older siblings when they were about his age and they enjoyed them too.
Tomorrow is Friday!! Yeah!!
