Morning

[mudskipper]

you too?

all good except Science & Maths because Miss V2 is coasting at those.

ms#5 in final year of A-levels. Marks a bit up and down, but has a plan

Think one teacher has hit nail on head - he had a big problem in that he was seemingly unable to write quickly. All efforts to speed him up still resulted in a painfully slow but neat script - he'd produce about half what was expected. He was told that content was excellent, but there was nowhere near enough of it. They've now got permission for him to type instead - so now he rattles out about double what's expected, but it's nowhere near as good. His slow script seemingly gave him thinking time. So now that's been identified, the plan is for him to consciously slow down his typing. We'll see how it goes...

Morning all

What day is it? hmm? Damn right it is!

It is, but how am I going to get any tea if it goes swanning off to Gretna Green?

Running off to get married at Gretna is soooo cliché these days

hopefully it will work.

Miss V2 will be losing her TV & Phone if she doesn't concentrate on her homework. she is only 13.

Every day is Friday when you're benched or it's more like a weekend really.

Afternoon denizens

Grey out, and a brief spattering of rain just now. Rather odd, as the forecast made no mention of it, and nothing shows up on the rain radar. Must be very localised

Though the forecast spoke of fog, so maybe I'm confusing a very heavy, sparsely distributed, downward moving fog with rain

Just got invited to a press launch for a new cookbook.

Things with the blog are starting to pick up a bit, had about a 1,000 hits this week. Though I was doing a very hard plug, hope I can keep the momentum.

Grey in cloggers and looks like it will be for the whole weekend.
Hope the rain stays off as I want to smoke some salmon and some bacon.
