Ellie was awake soon after 6:00. This was not part of the plan for the day. We (i.e. the Silver Vixen) explained to her that it was much too early and she should return to her bedroom and watch her tablet. There was no argument. She toddled off and other than occasional laugh, we heard no more until we got up. We got her up, gave her breakfast, got her washed and dressed and then took her to school. The Gorse Fox loves her enthusiasm for school and just hopes that it continues.
The Gorse Fox headed off to Worthing for Wednesday's football. The teams were pretty unbalanced - again. Our "orange" team only had four mobile players and two who were limited in what they could do. The yellows, on the other hand, had a full complement of mobile players including four recognised attackers. The Gorse Fox can admit that it was a bit like the Alamo. As their goal clicked up, the Gorse Fox found himself defending against three or four people at a time as they carved their way up the field. We lost heavily. It was about 6-1, but daft as it sounds, the Gorse Fox enjoyed it. He felt that he had played a particularly good game in face of silly odds.
We picked Ellie up from school and brought her home to us for a couple of hours, until Urban-Cub finished her shift. Irt was nice afternoon so we sat in garden and did sone phonics (with letter flash cards the Gorse Fox had printed off), some number games about adding, telling the time, and then some jigsaws. She has a quick little brain and is grasping these concepts without too many problems.
