The nine-year-old has been amusing herself by doing more arts and crafts. Above is a toilet roll unicorn she made. John joked, ‘That’s a very expensive unicorn!’
She’s also been writing a diary. Apparently people can die from boring homeschooling! Who knew?

Genuinely impressed by her handwriting…
Yes, pretty sure my handwriting wasn’t that good at that age! It isn’t now either…
Mum, did you read my diary?
No no, I would never do such a thing… well it was open so I couldn’t avoid reading a little bit.
Please forgive me.
That’s alright then, it’s not like you put it out on the internet or something.
Ha ha! Thankfully I got her permission before posting it.
Cool unicorn. Funny how some girls are absolutely fascinated by unicorns.
I think Lily might not be so far off the mark. Confinement can make a lot of people go Jack Torrance and be self destructive.
Yeah. She’s actually being really good – probably helps to have four people she sees regularly – but it’s far from ideal. She can’t wait to get back to school!
I must confess, the lockdown has had far less drawbacks so far (touch wood) than unexpected advantages for me.
And long may that continue! I’m also finding the solitude peaceful and joyous. Birds are singing in my garden for once!
