HSMJ - the PC died AGAIN !

In my life this week…

My PC died again.  This time it was the power supply.  I'm feeling so blessed that my brother had some spares for me to borrow. It's so annoying!
Paul has managed to injure himself this week at work and is now at home and has a few appointments with Dr's and Physiotherapists.  Please pray for a speedy recovery.
The scales numbers went in the correct direction this week and I started doing a walking DVD this week at home.  I have been surprised by just how unfit I've become in the last year. I must say this journey has given me a fresh appreciation for my husbands back problems but I'm now seriously over being in pain all the time!  I wish I could go to sleep and wake up thin . . .

In our home school this week…

• We did a refresher on Fire Safety and took a trip to the Fire Station.
• Have been studying the United Kingdom and exploring the joys of plenty to see on YouTube.
• We have also completed our second art project with See the Light and enjoyed it.
• A friend of mine has loaned us Handel: At the Court of Kings.  What a delightful living book to introduce a composer.  We also listened to Hallelujah Handel. 
• We made a Chinese Lantern.
