Good evening. Sorry been no posts, but we have both been feeling yuck all week. Started with sore throats, then headaches, then feeling dizzy and really, really tired. Callum still a little lacklustre today, but I'm back to bouncing self after overdosing on Vitamin C. Unfortunately Callum doesn't like Vit C tablets or drinks, so have been making sure of plenty of fluids with the occasionally dose of Calpol and lots of rest. So this week has been a bit slooooooooow to say the least.
Firstly last Friday: held a coffee morning for Macmillan Cancer Support. Had a few friends round for tea/coffee and cake (some, I made, some, people bought with them) and Callum had some friends to play. Had a really good day and raised nearly £70.
Saturday and Sunday Phil was working, so Saturday Callum lazed and pottered about, but Sunday he went to his friend Callum's house again where he had a fab time and stayed for dinner.
Monday he woke up not at all right and we ended up lazing on the sofa together watching telly. I'd recorded Animal Farm a few weeks ago, so we ended up watching that; writing up a little review on Tuesday (it's one of the books on the recommended reading list for his 'school year' so he doesn't 'have to' read it now, but maybe he will later as he did enjoy the movie although he did find it very sad.
Tuesday, we did a little bit of maths and he had a look at negative numbers of Khanacademy, but he felt very rough and so after about an hour he took himself off to bed and spent the rest of the day sleeping and watching a bit of comedy on telly.
Wednesday we were both feeling a bit better, but just very very tired. So didn't really do a great deal of anything apart from discuss what cooking we wanted to do for Christmas and writing out a shopping list. Off shopping that evening and then set up the mincemeat to soak overnight in the orange and lemon juices.
Today, both feeling a lot better. So mincement finished off, now just needs to have brandy stirred in and put into jars.
We also set up the fruits for the Creole Christmas Cake which we are going to use for small cakes for Halloween as we are doing a Voodoo/Zombie theme and are looking at cooking from New Orleans. AND we did some science Bitesize tests and activities on the BBC website.
Tomorrow ice skating.
Am hoping we are back to normal again, but considering we've been ill, have still managed to cover some English literature, some computer studies, some science, some maths and some cooking, so really not that bad! hehe
