It is horrific. Just as I bow out at the second round of sit-ups lest I see my breakfast for the second time in an hour, Joe reads out a message he’s received from someone in their 70s who is exercising at home and I am instantly ashamed.
I upload a screen shot of Joe to Showbie, with one word: “brutal”.
9.30am: Break.
Maths work for Stacia Briggs home-schooling day

9.50am: Maths. Always my Achille’s Heel at school, it took me two attempts to pass my maths GCSE and I remember as a child protesting that I would never, ever use algebra in my adult life. As a 40-something, I can confirm that this is true, but no one likes a know-it-all and anyway, today is about learning the time and looking at the 24-hour clock. Frankly, this is a stroke of luck, being one of the few areas of mathematics I have mastered. I upload my work to Showbie.
