What a week

[ailbhe]

Rob went back to work and my mother was here. Her dentist got it wrong AGAIN so she has to come back. That's good, because I miss her when she's not here, but she'd rather be getting on with her life.

I've been reading a lot about Badman's home ed review and cereta's post on rape and consent (yes, every comment on the original post, no, I'm not ready to stop yet, yes, it's a lot of reading). I'm really, really emotionally and intellectually tired by these things. Really. But I feel worse when I try to opt out of the discussion for too long, because I feel very strongly that this stuff needs to be discussed.

However, the world contains excellent decaf coffee, and chocolate cake in a mug, and co-op membership vouchers.

Tomorrow is Reading Waterfest. Today Emer wore pants, not nappies. Yesterday Linnea had a go in her new handwriting book and today she started looking at her knitting again. The weather was excellent for drying laundry.

I can't decide how to have the posters of pomes printed. Who would you use?

I'm not sure they will work for you, but ka-blam.com is the on-demand printer I will probably be using for the next issue of the magazine, and they do posters.

hmmm ;)

"I'm really, really emotionally and intellectually tired by these things. Really.

It's almost exactly how I feel about that post, and some of my friends' posts that have spawned from cereta's. I left some comments on the original post (I'm lydiasings on LJ) but it was difficult enough to read the first 10 pages of comments. I'm not carrying on, for the time being.

I ought to say something more helpful, really. Oops. Yay for chocolate cake in mugs, talk of knitting, and pomes. :-P
Good luck to Linnea and the handwriting book! :)

I've never used them, and I don't know how their prices compare, but www.zazzle.co.uk has free international shipping for the rest of the month of June.
