Home schooling continues. There's been a bit of school-directed Burns' Day stuff (it was Monday) and Scottishness in general. Here's Biggest Granddaughter drawing a Highland cow.
Yesterday we went after school to Duddingston Golf Course, closed to golfing because of the weather. We managed to visit 6 of the 14 bridges over the burn (Big Grandson really likes bridges) before I decided that it was getting a bit dark, so we headed for home and got there just as rather cold rain started falling on us.
They can run faster than I can but I caught them up before we got to the road.
Today we went to the local park, climbed on rocks and played with a ball.
Then Big Grandson got to play on his computer before tea. He just loves this game: Stepford County Railway. It's about ... well, a railway. You get to "drive" a train. Grandpa introduced him to it.
Maybe tomorrow I should get him to tidy his computer desk.
I feel very fortunate getting to spend so much time with them and very glad that they're not secondary pupils doing complicated maths. I passed Higher Maths at school in 1967, but trigonometry, calculus and much of algebra and geometry have since floated out from my mind. I didn't try that hard to stop them.
The virus figures are flattening a bit but are still high. Life won't be back to anything like normal any time soon. Sigh.
