Smaller child went to see Frozen the Musical (which from all accounts was really quite incredible) so I took the larger child to see the Titanosaur exhibition at the NHM. They're not wrong: it's big - you could live comfortably in its ribcage.

Child had a lovely time documenting this and the permanent collections with my old phone's camera, esp the minerals room. I got to draw a patagotitan's enormous foot.

Last couple of weeks of the #SummerHolidays here in the UK, so this week I have a few #HomemadeMusicalInstruments to make with your children. For all of these #MusicalInstruments you can make them with stuff you already have at home/can buy very cheaply #MakeYourOwnMusic

Today I have a #Playlist full of #Music to help your little one burn some energy with. #MusicToBurnEnergy #MusicToDanceTo #MusicToJumpAroundTo #SummerHolidays #SummerHolidaysAtHome

My children today have been arguing about which one of them gets to play with the green stickbot. There have been tears, there has been snatching, there has been a mum separating said children, confiscating the stockbots and checking the calendar to see how long we have to go before September! #MumLife #SummerHolidays

My children are “recording” videos for their craft-based YouTube channel. Only there is no camera involved and they don’t actually have a YouTube channel… there’s just a lot of cutting up paper and narrating what they are doing. My eldest has even written heir “theme tune”!

A rainy last few days of the #SummerHolidays here...

Keeping kids entertained to the last is always an issue in weather like this.

Surely some folks on here have some #Gravitrax set-ups they can share for inspiration?

上午送完綿羊上學，回來路上採了一枝粉山桃，和星吊蘭插在一起，更換了衛生間的繡球和玄關的常春藤，但感覺意境並沒有期待的那麼好，果然我還是更喜歡白山桃（圖四），可惜我忘記把種子放哪裡了，而且現在有些晚了。
又在陽台上添了兩個花盆，這會兒種子不足了，勉強找了幾樣先填進去，長出來不多久就要輪採掉的，倒也能接受。
將昨晚凍上的莓子轉移到袋子裡，均勻平放，需要的時候掰幾粒，雞尾酒好伴侶。
午飯隨便炒了個青口拌白菜，喝了一杯奶茶。午後終於把N天前摘的豆角葉撕了焯水，沒有太陽只好放烤箱烘乾。又將小番茄切了，撒上迷迭香和黑胡椒、羅勒碎和薄荷碎，還有鹽，一起放烤箱。

一個人安安靜靜地折騰這些東西，仿佛回到了童年的暑假，大人睡午覺後我一個人在房間裡搗鼓各種小玩藝兒的愜意時光。

Quel momento dell'anno dove ricevi subito risposta alle email! WOW! La risposta è: sono fuori e torno a fine agosto. Yeah! Mo' lo metto pure io :-) #ferie #summerholidays

Feeling rough while on leave and looking after the kids.

Worst possible combination.

The children are on their #SummerHolidays and as they are still just 6 and 9 they get a lot of my attention, leaving very little time for #BlogWriting.

Definitely autumnal in North Wales. There's a reason it's called Gorffenaf... 🍃🍂
(Just in time for the summer holidays as usual, why can't they just change the term dates??)

This is the „I’m bored-Map“ for my 8yo -and me- to survive the long #SummerHolidays. She can explore the various islands and I can just point to it whenever she gets #bored.
Of course there are also unexplored spots because you never know…

Disc golf (AKA frisbee golf) course in Ruchill Park, one of three such courses in parks across Glasgow. Disc golf can make a fun alternative (and free) activity to do with kids over the summer holidays, although the Ruchill course is currently a bit overgrown in places.

Well after two weeks holiday I have completed all my jigsaw puzzles - loved doing them and have now "scratched my puzzle itch" as it were 😊 I've also read a bunch of summer novels, all rollicking good stories and ideal for stuffing in a beach bag and reading in the summer sun (in between swims in the ocean that is!). It's been a long time since I read for fun/relaxation, and it was quite lovely to get 'lost' in the story once more 🤗

I like to travel, especially for vacations, but the truth is that my bed and my pillow have not equal.
