Well it has been a busy Five Birthday in chez wol. Was up at the crack of dawn to go ad do a Driving Test Practice at the very hour I'll be doing it on the day and it is a lot scarier than at 3.30 on a Sunday afternoon. Passing will not be quite the piece of cake I was beginning to feel it would be. Bugger! Still, forewarned is four legged or some ( Read more... )

However I am still weeks away from term-time and teaching and that side of 'real life'; plus the weather has suddenly decided to be summer. The result is a deep feeling of unreality. So much so that I have been able to face into challenges that I would ( Read more... )

Mildly entertaining meme with pretty pictures ( historical loonies meme )

DD survived her first day of school without undue trauma. The teacher, who looks astonishingly young to me, seems pleasant but effective so far and the journey there in the morning seems to work - although I can imagine it being a lot less fun when it is dark in the winter.

Was running round like the proverbial blue arsed insect this morning getting DD ready for a party but when I rang for directions found that it wasn't until tomorrow and indeed, there on the calendar, was the proof that I am totally lost in time. Gah! Now DD is understandably grumpy and my newsletter editing schedule has been thrown into chasis ... ( Read more... )
