Good morning everyone and happy Thursday!
Helia, yes, you're right, I did some d.some.time.in my garden yesterday morning, and then DFCW messaged and asked if I would like to go for a walk through the woods with her, so that was nice too.
KitKat, we were a very pleasant 23C yesterday. Your dessert that DGD helped make sounds delicious!
L.Ann, you've reminded.me.I need to return my books to the library - I'll probably do this tomorrow when.Im in town.
Laura, WTG having your house almost company ready!
Dogged, Germane evidently likes fine.din8ng, and expects her.staff.to meet her needs!
Your weather certainly did not sound conducive.to outdoor events.
Gma, I'm glad your DF BS is comfortable. Yikes on the water 8 gress, but good your roofer was able to attend so promptly. WTG with your housekeeping accomplishments!
Yesterday was full and productive. I had a good time in my garden, and a lovely long walk with DF CW. Her DD G13yo is struggling academically at school,.despite trying her best, although she does have e difficulty with concentration,. CW feels the time to act is now, otherwise she will slip further and further behind, so has pressed the school to test for dyslexia.amd.ADHD.
Fortunately,.G has already met the criteria.for.SEND ( special educational needs) so the school are providing extra English and maths lessons for her. CW is pleased,.but G.is.not at all impressed! CW is also implementing a social media ban for G from September (ahead of the government.bam.fir under 16s.from next January) as she is.cimcerned.ab8ut the effect Tiktok,.Snapchat etc is having on G's concentration. CW has an app on her.ohime.(I forget what it's called!) which gives.her.complete control over G's phone,.so she can.block..apos,.or even turn off.G's.
phone completely if she is being rude or.disrespectful. As you can guess,.G is Not Happy about this. CW is happy to listen to G's argument,.so long as she remains polite and respectful, and she can,. of course still chat to her friends through What's App, just not on the other platforms. ATM there's a lot of.rudeness.and.name.calling,.but CW is standing firm. She feels G's generation is the first to grow up with social media,.and from what she's seen,.it isn't doing a child who already has concentration issues any good. I did warn CW about the possibility of G.doenloading a VPN like many Australian kids are.now doing since their ban, to get round the age limit,.but she doesn't think G is tech savvy enough to do that. Yet. And in any case,.it would show up on her phone.
I also cleaned.the.kitchem,.and DH came.home.with the mews that the car is.now.booked.in.for.20th July.at.PS's garage.
Today will be church and then Jude has weight loss clinic in the afternoon.
