Good Friday 25th March 2016

The local library has been a brilliant source of entertainment for the children lately.  Louise takes herself there everyday after school, Me and NJ try to go at least once at the weekend with her friend Tabbi and her mum.  First week we went it was Mothers Day here in the UK and we made paper flowers in a loo roll tube pot :

Last week it was Sun inspired (we had none and we needed it back).  We made the rays of light using hand cut-outs:

This week is the Easter egg hunt, it costs £1 per child and I’m hoping that all 3 of the children will come for the fun.   It will be here soon so we shall find out!

Of course, the library isn't just for making things like this, it's also a good source of  books you know!  

I have always been interested in Terry Pratchett's work on the discworld and even before that The Unadulterated Cat , Johnny and The Dead, Johnny and The Bomb and Only You Can Save Mankind were among my earliest favourites. Now I find that he has teamed up with Stephen Baxter for a series of books

.  I am gripped!!

Book one, The Long Earth, was finished within 2 evening and I've just started on Book 2, The Long War, this is unheard of for me! I'm a slow reader, I digest every single word but these books are singing to me, they are rolling through my mind like a movie with me barely registering that I am reading.

   

It sounds daft but when you are enjoying reading a book so much that you wish you were at the end already, that you knew how the story unfolds and what happens to the characters.  I can’t wait to finish though because I have just found out that there is third book in the series !!!

The Long Utopia!!!
