We’ve had the stabilisers taken off Susannah’s bike. I’ve been going round the Square with her. We’ll wait for a park to let her try solo.
She’s doing an after-school art club on Mondays at the moment.
Noah has got a pretty good eye in with bat, and ball. It’s been fun playing with him in the garden. Susannah’s pretty good too.
Jo scalped him with trimmers last night.
He is loving his reading books from school.
They’re both making friends at school – there are other college kids in both their classes, which is great.
Elijah is into demolition – an aspiring South Sea Islander rugby forward.
Our lawn is full of shallow holes where the local squirrel has tried to bury nuts in too-hard ground.
Our washing machine is dead. By the time it gets fixed we’ll have been washing-machine-less for a fortnight. Fortunately we have some great new friends – thanks, guys!
Scrabulous is fun.
Jo is wonderful. But slightly mad – she’s taking NT Greek, for fun not credit…
Her parents came to visit on Saturday, which was great.
She’s making friends, and finding routines, and enjoying life on the whole.
I’ve played football every week since we’ve moved here, in goal, on the college field – or Field of Dreams, as it is also known. If goalkeeping was good enough for Pope John Paul II at seminary, it’s good enough for me!
College life is a whirl of people to get to know and timetables and routines and coursework to get to grips with – a major change in gear after working 12 hours a week…
Nottingham Castle is built on fibre-glass-enhanced rock!
Last week, someone added a comment on a post I’d written in April 2006. I’m astounded…

NT Greek, for "FUN!"
ReplyDeleteI have heard it all now!
If you want a good local park for bicycle learning - highfields (attached to the uni) is the best week found. Mostly flat with large areas of grass and light gravel - it's where both our girls got going.
