Not vacation time, not school days.




Homeschool family life is mostly about coping with sickness this year. I feel it would be better recorded in a poem or a collection of photos than in my homeschool record book.

The maths and English routine we had during 2020-2021 disappeared the day of diagnosis. I thought I could revive it after hot season but it was not to be. T1D is still too new. And that routine doesn't suit us at the moment..or anymore? It was great having those distraction free days during the pandemic. Both children learnt the basics of reading and writing. And now maths and reading is part of their everyday life. But we are probably lacking in other areas.

Nothing like a good downpour to run around in, screaming and getting muddy!

We recently reached the end of our box of Magic Tree house books we were reading. We didn't want it to end. Luckily an English family in town has started selling books, so we went to visit the day after we read the last one.

Airport bike ride. Rainy season afternoon.

So thankful for medical equipment that keeps us alive. 

Novorapid insulin pen bought at pharmacy in town, with 4mm needle ordered in from Thailand.

Went to the circus for the first time, while they still have the pandemic special. It normally starts at 8pm which is too late for us, but these days main show is 7pm.

For about a year now they have been working on Angkor Thom's western gate. The road and gate area look totally different. Used to be dirt road all the way from main rd to Bayon. Used to be more trees.
