Reported the theft of my kid’s bike to the school (in person and by email) and to the police (online).
The school has some cctv, but seems reluctant to review the video - historical precedent suggests that it’s unlikely to reveal what happened.
The police left a voicemail asking me to call back to arrange to give a statement (not that there’s really anything else I can add). On calling back, a 15 minute conversation (mostly on hold) resulted in confirmation that my lad’s bike has indeed been stolen. The earliest the police can take a statement is a week on Saturday.
Someone took big kid’s new scooter from the bike store at school yesterday. I was hoping it was some kind of mistake or even a prank and it would be returned today. But nope.
Big kid sat his first SATs test yesterday and has more this week. He started a journal recording the process. One of his entries from yesterday had me in stitches, bearing in mind his struggles with maths.
My new revision partner helped me with decimal addition and subtraction. I also have 25% extra time on every test if I want. And by my calculations I have a 90% chance of passing my first SPaG.
The “original” Pump Dot IO song recreated, not reimagined.
Pump your life in and out of your friends!
Potatoes doing well.
These meetings are usually as dry as a bone. This one was unexpectedly raw and bloody.
Trustees meeting tonight. Must be a few years since we had an evening meeting. In person, too.
En fin, la pièce de la résistance. Another “original”. Not for the fainthearted. DREAM JOB TRAJECTORY.
