And Monday went like this

Today I awoke at 5:30 and panicked.....thought I was going to be a guest on a radio station talking about the outrageous proposals put forward by the Badman to keep us home edders in line and ticking boxes. I sat for 2 hrs and scribbled notes on each wretched Recommendation and various other related issues. But in the end the Home Education Review chat and phone in was dropped in favour of breaking news stories about old train lines opening and crabs escaping onto the M3. But hey I'm prepared for next time.

So our morning proceeded with Myster C making Lego spaceships on the floor with help from the cats, then doing a bit of maths sat on top of the fridge freezer with his head nearly on the ceiling and then reading a book about the discovery of chocolate with his mouthful of peanut butter sandwiches. I didn't make him look at the blackboard once or put his hand up to go to the loo. See.... not very good at it am I, this education mularky.

The afternoon was spent in the delightful company of our many home edding friends and their children at one of our regular meets. Far from being hidden from public view we took over one corner of a park with a bright array of blankets and camping chairs and a mishmash of kids and bicycles. Three guesses as to what the adults main topic of converstaion was... Yep that's right. As for what the children talked about I have no idea since they were on top of the skate ramps, miles away on the swings or in the bushes.

Later we picked up Myster C's pottery Spitfire/Lancaster that he made a few weeks ago. It looks pretty cool. Then we headed for the supermarket where we sat in the carpark for half an hour discussing the ins and outs of forensic psychology. Myster C insisted the conversation take place in the car in case the supermarket security guard over heard us and thought we were planning a crime spree. His cautiousness didn't extend quite far enough though as he announced to a non home ed mum, we know from dance, that we bumped into in the frozen goods isle, that his mum was soon to be doing things against the law but don't tell the government. Get out of that one Dreadess! I think I need to have a word in his shell about time and place and solidarity. Tomorrow I need to re-explain the Home Ed Review situation a little more clearly before he starts the rumours flying about and people start wondering what it is that Myster C's mum could possibly be up to.

Posted by the Dreadess only....Myster C is asleep....I hope
