Hello! I found a co,puter:::it doesnùt see, to zork very zell though – cleqrly not q querty:::sorry: this ,ight be q bit of q struggle: zill hqve to stop touch typing qnd qctuqlly look qt the keyboqrd:
So far so good – the drive to the ferry was an easy run; we got an overnight ferry and my parents were there to meet us on arrival; It had been snowing in Brittany too, but the early morning light was beautiful.
We haven’t done much – which is perfect. It has taken us 2 days to learn the rules of the house – you can’t poo in the upstairs loo and you have to turn the hot water on for the shower at 6am. If you want to poo in the downstairs loo you have to do it when there is nobody in the kitchen otherwise it is deeply anti-social. I have advised the children not to go to the loo for a week as easier.
I am spending time helping my 7 year old read a rather too challenging book. I really stupidly bought the latest Anthony Horowitz book for my teenager – who very sweetly pointed out that not only had he been reading those books 5 years ago but that he was perfectly happy reading about Lawrence Delagglio. So, obviously my youngest child has taken up the challenge. He read a bit himself yesterday and kept chortling to himself “there’s this man in it who’s really small – maybe 15cm with a tiny head and there’s a whole load of camels in it. What it actually said was “very little of his head was on show because he had a beard and an eyepatch” and the group of camels was actually “a huge network of criminals”. “OMG” said my oldest, he’s completely dyslexic”.
We’re in a tiny village and they’re all very friendly – hopefully the kids will pick up a bit of French – got to go now x x x
