Not much to report from the week. Swimming went well in the end, sounds like he is going to be moved up to the next group after half term. Also while number two son has been the lazier one so far he has expressed an interest in exercise, and particularly running, following something he saw in Blue Peter. So we went for a jog around the block after swimming on Thursday, and I hope we'll do more of this together.
Clare went to a meeting at school about the Kent Test. This is the Eleven Plus exam that our boy will do in September. They gave us the dates of the two tests, the Kent Test and then the Shepway Test. If he passes the first one he can apply to any grammar school in the county, and the second one is just for one particular school. We'd most likely only go to the closest school anyway for logistical reasons. Good luck mate, you can do it! He's doing a practice paper this morning, which I'm sure he will pass.
Work has been busy, we solved a few issues this week but it did distract from our main mission. I only have a few weeks left on this project, then I get to move onto something new. Had our "project lounge" hack day yesterday and I did some bash scripting, fixed a tool that everyone has to use to connect to the database. Exciting stuff.
Got to the Inn Doors at just the right time, it was nice at quiet at 5pm. Had a few pints of a beer that I'm sure was mislabelled and a lot stronger than the 3.8% it claimed to be. So feeling the effects this morning, but I got up and biked to the park run and got a good time I think. Definitely under twenty three minutes, and in position thirty five. Was nice out, not much breeze until the final straight, and warm and sunny. I felt overdressed in just a t-shirt, I might get a vest for running in the nice weather.
My stuff still has not arrived from Jockey, I hope I get my new swimmers in time.
Speaking of half term, that is coming round very fast. Looking forward to a few days off all spent together. Got a few things to prepare for those days off, going down town today for a bit of last minute shopping. Though it's not actually the last minute yet.
