Credits: Back to Reality and Notebook Notations (peace sign) Little Dreamer DesignsWell it's been a very busy week or so but it's all good!
I've spent ages getting our computers sorted out, still ongoing but the main stuff is done. Scott has needed a computer for ages, with all his ICT course work he uses it for hours. Then we decided to get the wireless internet so that Jake could use his laptop upstairs. And I got a nice big external hard drive to back up to. It took me a while to get the security working for the router, not really knowing what I was doing so it's like learning another language. Well it's mostly fine, just got to work out how to share the printer but will leave that one till the weekend.
We had good friends visiting from Saudi Arabia (Hi y'all) It made for a busy weekend but it was great to have some fun for a change. Jake had his best buddy around for a sleep over and he had a great time.
Jake has had some hiccups at school, nothing too bad but it looks like he may drop French in favour of extra support time. I'm fine with it and he is over the moon,it's his least favourite subject. He will just have Spanish, which he loves, one language is plenty for him.
Scott is busy with his GCSE, he is going to resit a couple of papers. He is very close to going from an A to an A*. Not really sure how this resitting system works but he is keen, his science subjects are excellent.
My job is going really well, it's getting very busy now. Many of the issues from last year are getting sorted out and I'm looking forward to being able to make a difference at last.
My Hornsby Dyslexia course starts very soon, it's going to be tough fitting in the study time but I am so glad that I am doing it.
Other good news, My new washing machine arrives tomorrow (we are going to be soooo broke!)
I actually hate spending money on something like this but the old one was ancient, 2nd hand when we got it! I put some brand new pants in for a little wash before I wore them for the first time and they came out with marks all over so I had to hand wash them to clean them after the washing machine had done it's thing. Grant has tried to sort it out, cleaned it and serviced it but it's just busted! And on top of that it only fills half way, grrrrr!!
Time to go cook dinner, easy chicken satay. Grant and Scott are at the track doing whatever it is that they do there. No kart racing for a couple of more weeks but when it starts up again it will be hectic leading up to the Rotax Worlds.
OK......dinner.....

Hi Frith, was great to see you all when we were in Dubai. Have just found out Air Arabia fly here for 550Dhs return - so we might be over a bit more often!

Now that will help the sanity levels! Nice to know you can get away if you need to. I've stuck my nose into your blog, really great to read all about your travels. Jake loved seeing to dogs, he misses them!
Hi Frith,Great to hear from you & hear yourè ok,good luck with new computer & washing machine you`d be happy with that.Well after a big storm we have a nice spring day so must go & stand my broadbeans up again,Mum says (don`t work too hard at your job look after yourself).Bye for now Mum & Dad.
Hi Mum & Dad, I wish we would have a storm here, no rain for at least 6 months and everywhere is dusty and dry. We are having a hot autumn, not that you would notice, happily the temps now seem to have slipped below 40....a sign winter is on the way!
The job is busy but I do enjoy it!
Loved the email of the snowy photos, driving must have been a bit tricky.
