The Mock Turtle

Not talking about anything normal, just the quirky things.

B is obsessed with keyboards. He likes to take them apart, then re-pad them so the keys sound "just right". Sometimes he paints the keys. In fact he has a key removing tool I didn't even know existed. He will follow me around with his keyboard, typing away, so I can hear how good it sounds.

That *is* pretty weird.

J likes to wave big sticks around in the garden in a martial arts fashion fighting imaginary ninjas I assume. He’s doing it now actually. It’s a bit odd but it lets off some steam so I let him get on with it.

Mine both do that, and stage katana battles.

F makes cardboard stables and arenas for her Schliech horse collection, then photographs them. She spends hours doing it. I guess as far as hobbies go, it’s not too bad and involves a lot of creativity.

E makes herself costumes out of paper and literally tapes them to herself. She made unicorn ones that involved horns, hooves and wings once.

So so cute Dands! Liv also loves those horses. G was obsessed with the animals too. We must have £££ worth!

She needs to try stop motion animation, Dands!

I think all this is creative, and I also think it's good to be different.
