She must be. After being foul over the weekend Harriette came home and voluntarily tidied her room. All of it! Desk, dressing table, floor - everything! And she cleared up after supper without being asked AND she's been nice. I wonder if it's a boy. She must be about to ask for something!
The girls are very excited at the moment at the thought of birthdays in England. Not this year, unfortunately, but next year. We thought it would be nice to try and tie our trip in with these so they can celebrate with their UK friends. It is looking quite a strong possibility but obviously it's a long way off and nothing will be definite until nearer the time. This all assuming that the head gasket doesn't go, or some other finicial catastrophe doesn't hit in the meantime!
I have been offered the job I went for in Tauranga. The pay is substantially more but, as I think I mentioned before, this has to be balanced against the inconvenience of travelling to work each day and the cost of petrol etc. I am going to wait until I hear what the new IMAC contract offers us before I make my decision. We have a meeting in Auckland on 1st June. Fingers crossed.
Busy day today. On top of all the above and spending the day not knowing whjat to do, we had a meeting with Harriete's class teacher and the GATE (gifted and talented) programme co-ordinator. They obviously think very highly of her and we had discussions about how to manage her future years at College. She may be moved up a second year or accelerated further in individual subjects. They want to see how this Shakespeare unit pans out first.
I finally got our old laptop repaired and now can catch up on the Archers. Since we arrived here I have had a daily email with the previous nights storyline. I did not want to read my updtaes on this computer as there is 2 months worth on the laptop that I haven't read. I will now enjoy catching up on everything since last October in Ambridge. Bridget have you managed to listen to this yet?! Not whilst you're in Poland I know but when you get back to Blighty.
The glorious weather left us for awhile today, it got blowy and rainy. Not nice.
