The gcsce rs are nearly done (physics tomorrow, dd's just finished the last Spanish paper today) They are both happily revising not stressed at all anymore.
I have to say we have all gone off the boil. I know nothing about ds'sMusic A level so I cannot get involved
with this weekend's revision except to lob him nourishing food. Tomorrow is very soon, for Poetry Eng Lit, so I cannot do much about that either..
We've been having lunch in the garden a quatre and it is an hour and a half of World Cup at 4pm which ds insists on watching with ds2. Not my idea of concentrating but hey.. He's been into a long English Revision session in school so back on a decentish time clock with regard to rising by 8am.
He's going to be home alone next week for two days whilst we go abroad to see FIL. It will be odd, but the first time he has ever been alone in the house; I think it will do him good to have some independence - I seem to have been nagging him for several weeks now.. Anyway next week is a bit of a blank, frightening, but we will all have to get through it. Then two proms at the weekend for the gscers. Something cheerful to plan for, ds2 is obsessed by the suit we are supposedly meant to be buying for him. He was looking intrigued by tartan or suits with tropical parrots - is this a "thing" or are prom suits for young men meant to be very regulation smart? Moss Bros does a brocade jacket. Ds1 would never be seen in such a thing but ds2 seems to be showing a bit of Cavalier flourish in his taste.
