Ellie was dropped off soon after 07:00. She was her usual sparkly self and after breakfast and she was washed and dressed, she returned to the kitchen to do some "TT Rockstars". This is a game on the iPad (other tablets and computers are available) that tests the players on their times tables. It is terrific and they score points based on their aptitude. These allow them to compete against other players. With her brain now warmed up, she was ready for school.
I had an email overnight from Lulu (the publisher of my journals). My plan regarding the preparation of some covers for, as-yet, unwritten journals, seems to be flawed. It seems that whilst they will work, it will not be possible to edit them. This meant a frantic spell of downloading the source images for all the existing journals and then the creation of the specific back-matter for the new ones. With that complete, hopefully, the journals will not require any further editing of their cover material.
The rest of the day has been spent working on the 1989 section of the 1980s offering. Gosh, I had forgotten what. a busy year that had been. There is a further 35-40 pages to edit and I will probably re-visit one section that could benefit from more photos.
We collected Ellie from school. She had enjoyed the day and was still eager to work. She did more "TT Rockstars", some reading with Nana, some experiments to do with what floats and what sinks (part of the Titanic project), and started looking for a suitable map on which she could plot the route of the doomed ship. AT that point, Zoe arrived to collect her.
