Ellie has been rather excited this week about getting elected onto her schools ‘eco-council’. I am not sure why she felt she wanted to do it, but it seemed very important to her. So, she filled out a form, and had to tell her class why she wanted to do it. Her first meeting is next week.

Exams

They have all been at it this week. Nikki finished her uni exams yesterday, so feels she can get some of her life back. Robbie has two GCSE exams this week. Today he has the final part of his music exam. He told me this morning that the teacher has said that unless he messes up today he should get an A. So, lets hope he didn’t… But the most nervous person due to exams this week was Ellie, who has been doing her SATS. 8 does seem to be too young to inflict exam worry on children. Still at least she has finished, unlike Rob, who has a busy week of exams coming up.

Rear Windows on Ford Mondeo’s

A few weeks ago, Ellie managed to break a rear window on a Ford Mondeo. Last night, my Ford Mondeo was parked on the High Street of a village called Cookham, and somebody decided to smash mine and take as much of the car contents as they could. All this happened between 7:30 and 10pm, whilst I was at a business meal in a restaurant, which I didn’t particularly want to be at.  Needless to say I am furious, but have little recourse but to sort the insurance out. As I write this the glass is being replaced.

Work

I have to work this evening, and all day Saturday, as there is a major exercise testing power recovery in the Data Centre. This means I will miss the FA Cup final tomorrow…. not happy, but I have to get on with it.

Tricia has had a ‘relatively’ quiet week… but that just brings her back to the ‘busier than a normal person’ level.
