It’s been raining quite a bite here recently. As the kids are fond of saying, it’s been chucking it down! The River Trent has overflowed its banks and the fields, as well the road we normally take to get to the school, are covered in water.
This reminds me of another interesting linguistic tidbit. Sage brought home a worksheet last spring about homophones. Interestingly, it included “fort” and “fought” and “court” and “caught”. I had to think about this one for a while.
There’s a bit of a blue patch in the sky this morning and the water in the fields next to the Swarkestone causeway seems to have receded somewhat. We’re hoping things dry out a bit. The two resident amateur meteorologists have been recording daily rainfall for a couple of weeks now, so I expect you might see some kind of weather summary appearing soon.

Hi there! First adverbs and now homophones!! And I thought WE were becoming quite academic in kindergarten! Anyway, I hope the rain is letting up for you–we’re expecting it to be “chucking down” over the weekend–actually starting on Friday, I think! Love, Grana
