Great that Fran is learning all about graphs in Microsoft Word. I do them in Excel or whatever open-source application comes my way. Pie and bar graphs especially, as well as picture graphs.

Hope you are enjoying your free day.

Rhythmtic gym is great.

Tom’s Midnight Garden – I first read it at the end of 1991 and I am not forgetting it so quickly or easily. Wait until the 13 o’clock bit and Uncle Alan not believing. And I like Tom’s letter that he writes to his brother. And Hatty and the skates.

Papa really enjoyed Fantastic Mr Fox when he was a teacher.

Afternoon bedtime stories are good.

Do not quite understand what is involved in adding an adjective to a verb. I thought at first it could be something like ‘red fox’, but ‘fox’ is a noun. And I understand you do it in Latin too (and French).
