Apologies for my really pathetic attempt to include a wiblink. Just can't get the staff these days! It should now be up and ready for action. A huge THANK YOU to Chas for being my first official sponsor who was able to work out what I'd done wrong and actually manage to locate the sponsorship page!
I have just spent the afternoon doing a research project on Kenya. Tiddles just cannot get the hang of this research business and his homeworks are.. not to put too fine a point on it... total rubbish. Either they are cut and pasted straight from the internet and he knows absolutely nothing by the end of it (and can't even understand the wording of it even if he did read it) or else he selects random bits of inappropriate information and types them in.. well, to use the word "sentences" would be a little generous as they are mostly meaningless. So this afternoon I did his homework, showing him how I would transfer information from the webpages he has found and put it into my own words in actual paragraphs of related info. I was quite pleased with the finished results - I think I was as devastated as he was when I made a point of deleting the entire thing. I was tempted to send it in to his Geography teacher for marking! :D
The grand tidy up this afternoon has got absolutely nowhere, apart from another pile of washing hitting the machine. The dishwasher is busy too. Perhaps I should be sponsored to declutter! As it is, I am hoping the exercise entailed in preparing for the walk will help me get a bit more energy back. (ugh,, did I really use both the words "exercise" and "walk" in that sentence? What have I done? What HAVE I done?)
