Silkie, your challenges to obtain a suitable education for your son continue to amaze. I've seen many threads on MN over the years that state that public education in the UK is vastly superior in every respect to what we have in the US. I'm doubtful that that is true.
I'm still working from home. DS has taken the train to Washington, D.C. to do a bit of sightseeing and meet up with some friends from uni who live there now.
We've had more thunderstorms today, and the area is back under a flood warning.
A few weeks ago, DD very kindly drove to the airport to pick up her boyfriend and his father, who were flying back from the west coast together. This morning, her boyfriend's father texted her and asked if she could take him to the train station today, as no one else is available to do it. They live on the other side of the river. Due to last weekend's horrendous storm damage, the closest working bridge is almost an hour north of us. So to do this, DD would have to spend roughly three hours in the car, driving over damaged roads in thunderstorms, under flood warnings. I thought asking this of her was a bit cheeky of him. DH told her he would not permit it, which I think she was glad about.
Since DS is away, DH is on pizza making duty tonight.
