Time moves on ... Thursday 10th Oct

The wind was up this morning and so I put on a coat to walk down to the library. This added to Mrs P putting the heating on for the odd  in the evening, makes me think winter is on the way. But let’s enjoy autumn first I say. I manage to read most of the weekend papers I haven’t read yet in the morning, and am actually called on to help a couple of people with IT queries as well. Not quite working for a living, but then again I don’t.

 I spend the afternoon doing the housework. Dusting, vacuuming and ironing; before the teenagers come in from school. We then sit down with cups of tea and juice, and we watch a bit of TV together. On Demand TV is great for re-watching the series you enjoy, or missed. In this case we’re watching old series of Doctor Who.

After getting tea ready handy, Mrs P, the eldest and myself are off to her parents evening. Her last ever parents evening. Something of a landmark. Being sixth form we have only five teachers to see, but you still get the queuing and waiting, because the teachers seem to spend longer talking when they have fewer pupils to see. Mrs P and I leave pleased with the teachers’ reports, but slightly melancholy as it feels like something has gone. Time has moved on.

Yours not wanting the teenagers to grow up too fast.
