Because it is so hot, I made lots of popsicles today. I used orange juice, strawberries, and plain yogurt (I added lemon juice and some sugar). I layered the orange juice with the yogurt-strawberry mix. Flora said they are very good.
Weil es so heiß ist, habe ich heute viel Leckeis gemacht. Ich habe Orangensaft, Erdbeeren und Joghurt (ich habe Zitronensaft und Zucker dazu gegeben) dafür benutzt. Ich habe zwei Schichten pro Eis gemacht: eine mit Orangensaft und darüber eine Joghurt-Erdbeerschicht. Flora fand das sehr lecker.
I hope Flora’s tests went well. Pip has had a really tough week with the last of her exams. There were terrible tech issues with the online test this morning as in she could not access English Paper 2. The exam board and the school were brilliant though so we’ve flagged have options and she will have extra exam concessions as a result. By the time she sat her geography paper after lunch the virus that she woke with first thing was taking hold and she’s been quite poorly this afternoon but soldiered on. She is still finishing up her paper as I type 6pm having started at 1:30pm. She is allowed 50%extra time due to health needs and has required two rest breaks for medication and a rest. Gosh it’s been one heck of a week and my health has taken a bit of a tumble too 🙄. Love to you all xxx
ReplyDeleteShe thought the math was hard, but we will find out in a couple of weeks. I am glad we are doing these tests on paper. Online tests often have lots of problems. I am sorry to hear that Pip is sick and has to take tests. How many tests does she have to take? Are they all essay tests?
DeleteAnd of course: A big birthday hug to you! Did you get to celebrate? I only managed to turn my birthday calendar to June this morning and there your big day was! Sorry I am so late. But unpacking and Jonathan's graduation have caused much disturbance here. I also badly hurt my shoulder doing some yard work and can barely move it. I am trying to give is some rest. I guess I am not so young anymore. But there will be a gift for you coming in the mail! Again, happy birthday!
Sorry to hear about your shoulder and I hope with rest you are soon feeling better. Pip completed her Geography paper and because of her being unwell we can apply for exam considerations. We are not sure what is happening about the English. Despite all the stress sitting her exams at home was the best decision for her given her medical needs. Sending big hugs to you xxx
ReplyDeleteGood to hear about the geography exam. I have stopped doing my daily strengthening exercises for now and I am using a lidocaine cream. I hope this will clear things up soon. How was your birthday?
DeleteIt was a lovely but tiring day with phone calls and a visit from friends. I’d also had a busy Friday and Saturday with helping my mum attend a hospital appointment. It was really lovely to spend some time with her and we even managed a visit with some cousins, who I haven’t seen since my dad’s funeral five years ago. Socialising and Long Covid isn’t the best mix 🤪 but I made it work xx
DeleteOh, the time with your mom does sound special. And your birthday also sounds pleasant, even though it must have been exhausting. Maybe now you get to relax a bit.
