Day 258: Back to school

...not for Exile #3, although she was at school today, but for Exile #2 and me. We went to 'meet the teachers' - we heard from her specialist teachers: music, PE, art, Spanish and science and then at more length with her class teacher and her math teacher. I even did an 'observational drawing' using the same template Exile #3 has used. I wonder what she'll think of it at breakfast time.

After we made it home and allowed our very generous babysitters (B & C) to go, I popped out for unhealthy food and to buy a copy of Halo 3. The food was fine. The game looks great and so far has not disappointed - hopefully it will live up to the hype and keep me amused for a while.

This was a few days ago. Exile #3 helped me to make this - insisting on the colour-purity and I topped it with the first of several hexagon-triangle (or vice-versa) adapter layers. "Design Patterns in Magnatile Model Building" maybe I should write a paper?

  1. Hi Exiles - those Magna tiles look great but I can't find them on any UK based website. Do you know if they exist over here, or perhaps your parents do if they've been buying them for the little exiles?

  2. I'm afraid not. Ours came from amazon.com. Perhaps you need to persuade someone in the UK to act as an agent?! They are quite expensive (even without transatlantic shipping) - but entirely cool.
