blackboard

I kept to my word and repainted the black board. But I couldn’t get rid of Mum’s doodle so managed to lovingly preserve it with Eve’s assistance. Liquid chalk is on order for the kitchen school.

A day of many emotions as we all got our heads round the new normal. We started strong with amazing activities sent from school but the day wasn’t without its frustrations. Eve and Zeke miss their friends. I miss mine. We’re all trying to ignore background worries.

Gratefuls:

1. Eve getting me past my blackboard trauma (see Tuesday blip) - “you’re not getting rid of Grandma’s doodle Mum! Don’t be silly, paint round her.”
2. School friends dropping round with letters for the children;
3. A zoom (video conference) birthday party for a friend which was genuinely fun.
