Tuesday 5th Mar

Once again the day started with a bit of invigilating. Not many kids in for the re-sit and so only myself and one other chap were in. This enabled us to indulge in some fun to pass the time, mostly along the lines of standing at the back doing exaggerated exercise movements, we would never do in reality. The kids were very well behaved which makes it easy, though we did have one who turned up not knowing whether they were meant to be sitting the exam or not, they weren’t as it turns out, but it makes me wonder what revision you do in that situation?

Lunchtime bought a new experience, as I had to accompany the eldest and her driving instructor on part of her lesson. The idea now is for me to take her out more, having been told what I need to be looking for. It was, to be fair, a fairly thrill free ride, though the car did have dual controls, and the instructor only tweaked the steering wheel once. I’m not sure how confident I’m going to be in traffic with her driving; we’ve had two small trips on the public highway so far, and both have involved slightly hairy moments. However, to paraphrase, “greater love hath no man for his eldest, than that he lays down his fears for her ...”

The afternoon passed in a blaze of DIY and ironing, such fun.

Yours thoughtfully in prayer for safe passage.
