Well it's Thursday and we've all been back at school since Monday. The children seem to have all settled back in well and are enjoying themselves. Toby did very well in maths and science tests at the start of the week - thanks to all the revision he managed to do in the last week of the holiday. John and Rose have both signed up to go on an orienteering and a cross-country afternoon. John has been saying since he saw the Great North Run on Blue Peter last year that he wants to do a run and now's his chance. Edward is also back at school - only two weeks one day to go before Y6 STAs start - arrgh.

Cindy expended so much energy during the holiday; particularly during the last weekend, when we went to two things on Saturday and spent the whole day out on Sunday; that she was absolutely wiped out. We actually got the GP out on Sunday night in case she had an infection, but she doesn't. She spent most of the day on Monday sleeping, slept all Tuesday afternoon dozing and had a very quiet Wednesday too. She is gradually recovering though - in fact she should be just about back to normal when it'll be time to go back into hospital for her next treatment next week!

I'm just finishing next week's planning at school and then I will go home. It's a lovely afternoon, and I'm looking forward to going down to the park with the children.
