Happy Friday! I am having a day of crochet - am about halfway through a cardigan which seems to be working so far! I was at a lovely wedding last night although it was someone from school which meant that my school TDL has leapt to the forefront of my mind and I am experiencing a little of that panic feeling too. Especially as I have registered that I am away for the final week of the holidays so actually only have one week at home left. That's a lot of jobs to do and people to catch up with in a short space of time! I think I need to get a notepad out and start some planning...

Socks are a very, very good distraction. My class have loved them too, spotting mine has sparked all sorts of conversations and they now know the difference between crochet and knitting - I think that’s a very important piece of learning!
-
Of course! Here you go - https://www.winwickmum.co.uk/sockalong I was absolutely not a knitter before I did my first pair - I’d dabbled in the basics when I was little but this was great to follow and it’s so satisfying!

I think it looks fantastic Panders. Lemon ones are my favourites too!

Just finished another pair of socks. These are for my dad. By the way how did the final fondant fancy cake turn out?

I can vividly remember my then 3 year old nephew standing in a stool and proclaiming Bear Hunt to us which he’d clearly learned at nursery. Has anyone come across the Pie Corbett reading spine - suggests core texts for different year groups (including nursery). https://shop.scholastic.co.uk/reading-spine Another person to follow for more recent book suggestions (thinking about issues around diversity etc). Is Loll Kirby - on Facebook/Instagram as Gather and grow. She’s more school based but might well have some good ideas for younger children or at least know places to look.

Hope he’s ok Sunnyday and that you thoroughly enjoy your dog holiday. I always think that the soggy walks have a reward at the end - feeling virtuous and justifying a cosy pair of dry socks and some hot chocolate!

Just wanted you all to know that I have been carrying out extensive research whilst reading this thread. The following diagram summarises my findings. (The mathematicians among you may need to close your eyes - this is in jest!)
-
Thank goodness for that - I was twitching on your behalf!
-
There is something particularly lovely about tidying up and discovering a box of chocolates that you’d forgotten about! Guess what I’m doing…

Me too - I confess to a deep satisfaction at seeing smoothness come out of wrinkles! Well, I was feeling jealous so in a spirit of solidarity I set my freezer to defrost overnight so I must finish that job today. I have various undone jobs around the house and I have totally failed to do anything on my school TDL since Monday and I can’t decide whether to just write the week off for school stuff (I refuse to do schoolwork at the weekend during holidays) and spend the day being cosy and domestic. What do you think?! Sunnyday, enjoy your puppy time and tea making and I hope your accounts don’t take too long. I have grey skies and rain here too and while I don’t want to wish summer away it does make me dream of blackberry and apple crumble and I feel like I have an excuse for festive sock knitting!
