REMAINS OF THE WEEK

Good evening all

Thought I'd take a bit of time out from sorting out all the computer gumpf to do a quick write up.

Wednesday was a little different to usual as Terri visited yesterday. So today we caught up on some work.  Callum did yet another book review.  He's finally caught up now though, so those should be a bit more spaced out; much to his likeness as he hates doing them.  I want him to start thinking about how things make him feel.  Being an Aspi, empathy and emotions are things that they find hard to express, so anything that challenges that is a good thing as far as I'm concerned.

It was also Callum's turn to cook dinner and he chose pizza.  He cooked it all from scratch, even the sauce.  The pizza base wasn't a yeast version as we didn't have time to do that and I wanted to keep it straight forward, so this one was based on using baking powder.  Then the tomato sauce was made (using the same recipe as the meatball sauce we used a couple of weeks ago) and we left that to reduce and become thick.  The base was then smeared with tomato sauce, sliced mozzarella, pepperoni, olives and a sprinkling of mixed herb.

Cooked!  Can I eat it now?

Yesterday was trampolining class with the group and James.  Not many kids there today so turns came around quickly.  Somersaults done and then practice of backward rolls ready for backward somersaults.  Eeek.  Carol and Lauren back for tea and cake and play on computer, then he was on his own again.

And today, he helped me with some surveys, bought Dad's birthday present online, sorted out and researched best place to get Black Ops season pass and then bought and paid me back.  He then, of course, disappeared off to immerse himself in new maps and extras.  So I've had the computer to go through emails, more surveys and catch up on Facebook and here.
