We had our usual visit to my grandparents to consume biscuits and coffee and exchange pleasantries.
On the way home we stopped at the penny sweet shop for our weekly lesson in money and shopping. Both the Rs had ten pence each and quickly spent it on sweets.
In the car on the way home Ms R told me the phonetic letter sounds for the word ‘bag’, I asked her if she could tell me the proper names of those letters and after a bit of thought she did. She still translates letters into sounds and lower case into upper case so she knows both but is only confident to use one. When I lived overseas often people would talk to each other but both in their own language, in fact often the grooms would speak to me in Zulu and I’d always answer them in English.
After lunch we visited my parents and while Ms R played with train track Master R and I sat and watched/stroked/played with the kitten. The Rs spent about half an hour playing and bouncing on the trampoline with my Mum.
