    Yes. You’ll find some great instructions on the interthingmebob. They look a bit sad for a few days but then have lots of lovely leaves sprouting everywhere.

    I cut my poinsettia back when it starts to look like that. I’ve had the same plant for about 6 years now and it looked lush this Christmas. It was actually my daughter’s plant, and now she’s moved in with her partner, I gifted it to her at Christmas. It’s well and truly dead now. 🤭😳

    I hope you’ve had a totally fabulous day x

    Couldn’t agree more! There’s something that goes wrong with the static method of learning the phonic aspect of reading for some children. They get bogged down with the technicality of it, I think. Learning isn’t a ‘one size fits all’, which makes it hard for the teacher, I admit, but there needs to be some sort of exploration into what fits each particular child. Much as we know that some children are visual learners, for example. I don’t remember having a reading scheme at school, but I do remember flash cards at home, and my parents making it fun.

    Fabulous. Thank you. It really makes one wonder about what we were all reading 40 years ago. Richmal Compton, Enid Blyton? These were page turners for my brother and I. Did they get it right?

    I’ve just back to back watched ‘plebs’ on iPlayer. Two seasons! Well, I had to dk something to avoid the interminable things that Zebedee is watching!

    I’d have done exactly the same! Sometimes it’s just a matter of balancing what is more important. Xx hugs to you both (+1)

    A fascinating read. Thank you

    The problem seems to be that her practice is still waiting for authorisation to carry the vaccine. (No, I don’t understand that either, it’s a really big practice)
  11. Cait
    Thank you Blondie, but that entails her going to them, and she’s not able to do that x

    Make up a story together? Everyone adds a line or two?
  13. Cait
    Read your favourite story to everyone?

    Not really, unfortunately. One of the carers rang her GP yesterday and they said that they’ll come as soon as they are able to. It’s just yet another demonstration of poor organisation. We keep reassuring her that she won’t be forgotten, but when everyone else was done last week, it really looked as though she had been! She’ll be making the local news soon perhaps as the last 87 year old to be done!

    A very tiny improvement on the last number, but still higher than it should be!

    It’s very much a lottery though. My Mum lives in sheltered apartments and last Wednesday all the over 80’s were done except her, because she has a different GP practice! Her practice hasn’t got its authorisation to carry them out yet! She’s 87, clinically vulnerable and housebound. How they can leave her out beggars belief!

    😮 crikey!

    Yes I know what you mean about bring the only one working. My summer holidays were always like that. Doing all the paperwork and cleaning everything, prepping everything for new starters, doing policies etc. If I suggested that they might want to come in and prep their key children’s trays I was met with ‘no I’m on holiday’ or some such, or they come in with very bad grace. So no, absolutely doesn’t sound selfish!
  19. Cait
    I think you did right! It’s important that they know the impact that their decisions are making
  20. Cait
    Does that enable you to keep the full funding?
  21. Cait
    Yep. Mojo completely gone, even for sewing! I got fabric out and cut ready and I’ve just walked away and left it. I had to move it to iron a couple of masks on Wednesday morning

    We get Tyne Tees and Cumbria news. There is a Yorkshire one but we can’t get it because the church spire blocks the signal apparently

    I’ve not read it or seen the film, but it looks like one to watch on my iPad when Zebedee is watching one of his ‘interesting wartime documentaries’
  24. Cait
    Yes, it’s Lettice
  25. Cait
    Lavinia is one of those names we don’t come across any more, isn’t it? Unless anyone has one in their group? ‘Lettuce’ is another. How anyone could name their daughter that has always puzzled me, but it was quite common in the twenties I believe
