They are six and seven (nearly eight) and very bright so they find a lot of the work really boring. I do the academic stuff with them then hand them over to my husband for music and art and sport.

Thanks Tien. I think I can manage for another week or two by putting TDoS on hold and accessing the library's e-books and my reading time will be diminished when we have the grandchildren for their schooling. Hopefully we won't have fifteen weeks of it like last year.
I have my first week's reading all prepared and lined up. Next week's might be a bit of a problem as it looks like we will be continuing our lockdown number four.

Thank you.
I'm really bad at planning strings like the 15's. I'm about halfway through planning a string but there is no way I could manage it more than once. My aim is to complete the 10's and 20's three times each. I am really looking forward to exploring lots of cities in a range of countries. I have been keeping track of the countries I have read this year. So far, including two I am currently reading, I am at 29 different countries in six continents. I hope to extend that to 50 different countries by the end of the summer challenge.
