With snow on the ground my car isn’t going anywhere, however, yesterday there was a thawing so I was able to collect Mark from University and run him into Derby to get some prescription glasses sorted out at the optician. Having dropped him off it was time for a spot of supermarket shopping before picking up Viv for a lunchtime drink, snack and chat. It was good to meet up and swap survival stories, catch up on news of former colleagues and just plain socialise again. I do hope that the role she’s in at the moment does turn into a permanent role for her at the end of March.
After that little escape, it was back home to unload the shopping, do some housework and (later) after applying a few updates to my web site, I prepare dinner for the family. This morning the snow was back and the car is staying on the drive. Washing machine loaded with laundry and I settle down for some blogging.
What else? Oh yes, I’ve not mentioned that Andy was below par over the weekend and by Sunday night he’d come out in spots. Monday morning he gets off work to see our GP who diagnoses Chickenpox! That night when he shows his mum she says that they are the same as the ones Mark had immediately before his exams in early January. Andy took the rest of Monday off work, but, was back in on Tuesday as he’s through the contagious stage.
Yesterday Mark got his exam results. Good, no, Excellent news! He’s still on course for a 1st class degree…. in Mathematics! The weather is playing havoc with his commute run between Derby and Nottingham but he’s still banging away, hard on the studying away in his room. If he doesn’t get his 1st it won’t be for the lack of trying.
