Poor Jake

This has not been a good week for Jake, he is at home sick with Shingles. I have become an instant internet expert on the subject now. Luckily being a child the symptoms have not been to bad and so far he has only one patch on his back and its been really itchy rather than painful. However, because he could possibly spread chicken pox he has had to stay home. His exams start next week so I have had him doing a bit of revision. The doctor has him on some medication that seems to be working so I'm hoping that things will not get worse.

Grant and Scott have been busy with the kart. The engine has been modified and fitted back in, after a few hiccups it seems to be fine. Scott's first race is on Friday and he has been practicing till late at night trying to improve his track times. Grant has been busy at work so now the next time Scott gets in the kart it will be race day. The heat is getting pretty extreme and these karts are operating at the top of their range so I hope the engine hangs in there. The day time temps have been up to 45C and at night its down to 30C but with very high humidity (this makes the track real slippery).

I will take my camera and hopefully get some nice shots to post here. When I figure out how to do that ;)

Scott has had most of his exam results and did super well, I'm so proud of him because he works very hard and takes it all seriously. Most marks were in the 80's except Arabic which was about 30%.

OK folks - thanks for taking the time to read this, I'm going to spend the rest of the day doing the usual housework, sorting out the photos for here and then I will do some scrapbooking.
