I started to watch the programme about the Uber scandal. There was constant 'music' in the background. What's that for? It adds nothing. Anyway, it was driving me nuts so I decided to wait and read about bit in the paper.😡
You're taking a wife and two small boys on holiday - and you want to take seedlings as well!!!! I think that might be taking a gardening obsession a bit too far.
The dog is coming too I'm not sure how resilient these seedlings are but I mist them three or four times a day at the moment. The last lot did really well stuck to muslin which was great for reducing the need for misting, but at some point they got a fungal infection and all died within a couple of days. This time I'm using a plastic mesh which should give better ventilation and be cleaner to stop fungus, but it does mean they need watering very regularly. I could dangle the mesh over a bowl of water in a container I suppose...
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
You didn't miss much B3 - just another tale of corrupt politicians to add to the list of tales about corrupt politicians. Who'd have believed that the 'current' cohort of Tory politicians could be anything less than honest?
My youngest boy had an induction day at his new nursery yesterday. The teachers talked about the things they will be teaching the kids and one of them was how to hold a book, make sure it's the right way up and how to turn pages etc. Hopefully they meant this was for the younger children but still something you'd hope they'd have learnt at home from a very young age. He's only just turned three but will sit there reading on his own and has quite a few books memorised to read out loud to himself and anyone who'll listen. I suspect he won't be able to use a smart phone as well as other kids his age though.

I remember teaching my daughter to read at an early age. She was delighted to discover that the second book she read had some of the same words as the first.
Possum went to nursery, kindergarten and then school in French and the language and the way the teach is very different from English so I was careful not to cause confusion. We "read" stories together from when she was able to sit up and I taught her the English letters. We had some wooden books where you had to select the correct word to fill a hole and continue the story.
I also sent her to a local child minder one day a week from when she was 18 months old so she understood French. Just as well as they didn't start active reading till the last year of maternelle - the year they turn 5 - and that was word recognition rather than sounds and syllables as I was taught. "The cat sat on the mat" doesn't work in French.

haven’t looked to see if the rain has been pushed off tomorrow.
So pleased I'm NOT on a water meter.
