Two weeks in

Just trying hard not to check the news every five minutes.
Home schooling going fine. I have the impression he is working. The ten year old whose life has been turned upside down by global developments.
I have recorded myself testing him on his dictation. My french accent is appalling and he has to say some of the words himself - my pronunciation is laughable.
Today may have been the first day that I didn’t freak out at him. Phew.
I banned myself from working this weekend. It’s all been a bit much, not going in to teach any more. First ever video conference with my students. Just to check up on them. Fun but not productive. I’ll use that tool when necessary.
So when not helping Ivor with the school work he saved for the weekend, I managed to weed most of the onion and garlic beds. Lots of seeds have been sown and the ducks and chickens are happy laying a good number of eggs every day.

We went picking wild garlic this week, and did one shopping trip.  We walked to my sisters house and delivered some fresh eggs and pickle and wild garlic pesto, she has the Covid.
Ivor is given a few pages of school work four days a week, the activities are varied. As part of hits homework he wrote that he loves gardening!
Here’s a short video, be warned I’m not looking my best ☺️
