Sports Day

The kids had their sports days last week. They started at 8.00 and were finished before it got too hot at 9.30. I've bought a new telephoto lens for my camera and enjoyed taking loads of pictures. This one, of a boy called Ziad in Lucy's class is my favourite. As Janet pointed out, it's a shame I can't take such good photos of my own children. Anyway, both events were really well organised and the kids had a great time.



I finally got my new car today after 7 months in Dubai. It's a black 7 seat Pajero (a brand spanker as well - see previous post) and I'm very pleased with it. Janet pronounced it underpowered, which it is compared to the Durango (190hp to 340hp). And this from someone who spent years in a nasty 1.2 litre Vauxhall Nova.

Janet has finally got a job as a Supply Teacher at the kids school and will be there full time until at least half term. I've already noticed a difference to our finances - not because of what she's earning, but the reduction in how much we're spending on 'coffee, cake' (as Max says everytime he sees a Starbucks!).
