B got on with his school work with minimal fuss covering Geography, English and getting a head start on some Art for next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>D had her 6 month probation meeting for work (which went well), did her Davina exercise video and encouraged B to make a cake &#8211; which he did. It was a recipe which used biscuits, milk and baking powder to make the cake &#8211; so good if you have no proper ingredients to hand. Then you cover the whole thing in chocolate ganache &#8211; so perhaps the base doesn&#8217;t matter so much!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/36c88035-a306-46bb-ad2c-a6d883203fdd-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-441\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/36c88035-a306-46bb-ad2c-a6d883203fdd-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/36c88035-a306-46bb-ad2c-a6d883203fdd-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/36c88035-a306-46bb-ad2c-a6d883203fdd-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/36c88035-a306-46bb-ad2c-a6d883203fdd-800x1067.jpg 800w, http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/36c88035-a306-46bb-ad2c-a6d883203fdd.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;d mentioned during our virtual choir rehearsal &amp; social on Wednesday that we were finding it hard to keep F occupied with school work. Liz, one of the choir members and a teacher, recently (before the pandemic) set up a business offering online learning for kids (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mrscteachesme.com\">Mrs C Teaches Me<\/a>), and she offered to do a session with F and they had their first session today and it was a great success. F really enjoyed it and afterwards was all smiles and chat about it &#8211; it was really nice to see her enjoying herself.
