I truly have fallen out with the blogging. I've been absent. I could bore you with all the personal journeying that has been going on in my absence, but I won't. I will, however, attempt to do better at posting. I will try, honestly.
So, what have we been up to? I wouldn't even know where to start to be honest. We've been living. There has been life-goes-on kinds of stuff.
Our final ancient gerbil bit the dust a few months back. It was sad; there were tears; Little buried him in the garden and had a small funeral. We have had a few months rodent-free and are planning to rehome a pair of guinea-pigs in July (but shhhh, cuz it's a secret and the sprogs don't know yet!).
We have, I think, really settled into our happy home ed selves. That sounds like a very odd thing to say almost 2 years after deregistering - surely we would have reached that point sooner? I think it's taken this long to deschool ourselves, and really feel free from "The Shoulds" that attack everybody on occasion. A lot of our initial time after deregistering was taken up with learning how to all be in the same space at the same time; it's taken me by surprised but we seem to have figured that out now. There are much fewer arguments for the sake of arguments now; there is a lot more contentedness in being in close proximity without necessarily having to interact; and when there is interaction it is happier.
There haven't been many orange days to date. Today, however, has been one :) I feel the need for a little orange something so here's a picture of an orange slice shaped into a heart!
