Letting off steam

Home school proper, day 1.

It was ok. We started the day with an Joe Wicks YouTube live PE lesson. Which turned out to be a fairly good HIIT workout. B got too hot half way through but J stuck most of it out.

We did some work. B struggled a bit to stay calm when she was finding it difficult. I am much less structured about it than I thought I would be.

We did some gardening and playing outside. The pogo stick is really popular, £20 well spent. It was warm so they asked to have a water fight. They were both very wet, but nobody ran off crying, which is a good end to such activities.

I dug the veg patch, cut back some of the bushes that were overhanging and planted some cucumber seeds. I have ordered some more seeds and a cold frame for growing - at least we can have fresh veg, but not until we are hoepfully less shut in.

I managed a shortish run, but was very tired when I got home. I then made the mistake of having a nap after tea. I couldn't sleep at bed time, predictably enough.
