You’ve got to love ‘em

The Jenster has now got a “Reading Bookmark” that she designed where us and school can write comments about her reading activities. All very good and all very sensible.

We noticed that she’s not reading as much recently so quizzed her as to whether she had forgotten her reading homework.

“Nope.” Was the reply.

So it was with a huge amount of humour that I spotted this entry in her Reading Bookmark yesterday;

“Relly good werk Jenny Mum”

I have to say that the “Mum” was a perfect copy. Must have a word with Jules about her spelling though.

Autumn’s arrived ….

…. and it was time to break out the Swanni this morning. Minus three degrees and a beautiful clear (night) sky – in fact we saw a shooting star yesterday morning. Three days until I can order my Fenix, which will be a welcome relief from the somewhat feeble (although usable) Everready torch that I’m using at the moment.

I eBay’d the E2D – for a lot less that it was worth but, to be honest, does it make any sense getting through twenty quid’s worth of batteries a week!?

The Shelberator and I had a couple of monster plods over the weekend – eleven miles (avec Jenster) on Saturday morning, and then fifteen miles on Sunday. I’ll post a review of the GPS software that came in handy a little bit later.

Here are a couple of videos of the Jenster at the Chiltern Craft Show at Stonor Park last weekend;

Go Jenster!
