Day of wonders today, in afternoon spent an amazing time visiting the sets where harry potter films were filmed. It was minijc2 18th birthday present and he was in heaven. We were the last to leave and got amazing photos which I can't post as atm I'm spending the night at London heathrow aeroport courtesy of a flight cancelation tomorrow due to air ( Read more... )

My computer is back , more or less as it should, much to my relief. Still don't understand what happened,but thank god for tech heads. I've been tediously putting all my stuff into the external hard drive to give it a little more life but basically it is on it's last legs, not surprising since it's at least 7 years old. So far I haven't found a way ( Read more... )

Just look at what charm can do for you :-)

I am still teaching my private students but at the moment I feel a great lift out of my shoulders and a great feel of relief.
Part of the reason is that ( Read more... )

Tears were in my eyes today after my son told me proudly his exam results. Not because of the marks themselves, who were excellent, but because of the journey that took him there.  It was a journey of ups and downs, of blazers put down toilets , infinite ties cut to shreads and weeks of hardly going to school but somehow we survived that rough ( Read more... )
