  Another early morning and another great day! Now I just need to be able to wake my self up this early everyday. As I am on holidays and have not much to do (except plan a birthday party, move house.......) I went nuts at the library and borrowed about 15 books (and already had about 10 at home waiting).
I can't help it, if a book looks interesting (particularly non fiction) then I grab it, I just LOVE learning. Putting knowledge inside my head and adjusting what I know, assimilating this bit with that bit, proving or disproving theories, I could (and intend to) do this forever. WD is going away with his son (5) this weekend so I stocked up on supplies (food, not books:) ) and then went to work for a few hours. It is the last wek of term so we gave all the kids certificates for how well they had progressed this year. I was especially impressed with a boy. He is WD student learning maths from a program I designed.
At the start of the year he could count ok and add small numbers. Now he can add any single digits, count backwards a little, identify numbers before and after a number etc. I was just so happy with him and so were his parents so it made a great night. Then I came home and got a HUGE shock. One of my flatmates was out of the hospital. About a months ago one of my flatmates was in a car accident (as a pedestrian) and was taken to hospital. she is still there with a broken leg, two broken arms, a fractured skull, and some other minor injuries. A week later another flatmate was taken away cos he had had a nervous breakdown. So he is home tonight and doing ok. Its really good.
