Clare is out at a midweek pump class but the boys and I went into school for a bedtime story event. I had to split my time between the two stories in the two classes, but it was fine. I was only listening, not reading. Thing one's story was good it was some of Skullduggery Pleasant, so I think we're going to get one of those, sounds a good series. Thing two's was a bit basic for him, being Room on the Broom and then We're Going On A Bear Hunt.
I was especially proud of the youngest that yet another mum said their kid had said he is the cleverest in the class, and particularly pleased that one of the teachers came over to say how well he is doing. She wanted to say that because he's reading at a much higher level now he might come across content in the books that he's not ready for and if I spot anything just say and we can change the book. He has not exactly brought home Fear And Loathing1 or Clockwork Orange2 yet, but it seems only a matter of time. No-one came over to say how well the eldest is doing this term, only an oversight surely...
I treated myself to a frozen ready meal from Iceland today, because I'm worth it. Oh and I bought a new running vest type thing3 so I can look like an ultra-marathon runner even if I'm only doing the 5k on my treadmill. Maybe this is the first step towards doing the Folkestone 10 mile race. But maybe not.
NSANDI.com your website is still pretty rubbish. It is easier to log in now (I checked on my premium bonds now I'm doing a regular investment again) but it logs you out if you hit the back button. What is going on there? And the message was only to say "thank you for the new deposit", it was not a prize.
I've done a new metalsmith plugin which means more new auto-generated content for this page. I'm reintroducing "what happened 5 years ago" etc, but I can only access the blog posts, not old gigs and things yet. I might have to bring the gigography back into this same repo to do that.
5k: Five kilometres, just over three miles to you.
