T-Bird Anni Rides Again

I’ve started Harry Potter - the TMA can wait a few days!  ACtually this had an interesting effect as it dawned on Aprilia that me and Duke were reading for the sheer pleasure of it rather than for a learning purpose.  It sparked a bit of interest. 

She spent a bit of time reveling in having floor space in her bedroom today (and I’m hoping we can manage to maintain that - floor space is good!)  Tomorrow I’m dismatling her shelving which will mean the PC is on the floor for a few days but we’ll cope.

Towards bedtime she demanded multiple chapters of Roman Mysteries by bribery of "I’ll read a book for every chapter you read me Mummy"  She proceeded to read 5 booklets interspersed with me reading to her.  Going back to simple sight vocab type reading books to give her a rest from phonics seems to be doing her a bit of good and it’s nice not to be battling with her!

hmph, Duke has just sneaked in adn stole HP off me….. ah well, bed calls…. I’ll walk into town and buy my own copy tomorrow, no, wait, I’ll be good and do some work….. u-huh? 

Duke has left his copy of HP on the sofa on his way out this morning.  I’ve not opening it yet for fear I start quoting it in my next essay by accident

Aprilia has her "new" bed installed and is well pleased with it, the desk underneath isn’t big enough for her monitor though so we need to have a re-think.  I’m thinking on the lines of a re-con flat screen from the computer fair on Thursday as her current monitor is pretty rubbish anyway (starting to flicker and gets awfully hot)  That way we can wall mount hte monitor so it’s not going to get knocked flying and she will be able to move the keyboard out of the way adn have clear desk space to draw at when she’s not using hte PC.

Obviously we still have all her crap in our room, it’s going to be put back very selectively and sifted through over a couple of evenings (with a few tip runs) to reduce the amount of stuff in there.  I’m hoping to "accidentally" clear up some of the crap thats been lurking in our room for too long as well.

Looking forward to having a car again tomorrow, everywhere is a long way away from our house, especially when it’s raining.
