Day: August 25, 2014

Back to school

Posted on August 25, 2014August 25, 2014 By admin

Today was Bean’s first “day”  back at school. He was bouncing around the flat all morning, and was OK when we came into class to get some paperwork, but when it came time to us to leave him he started crying and negotiating with us to not go today and he’d have a longer day tomorrow. Heartbreaking to just leave him in tears, but he seems OK now. One thing that might be a blessing in disguise is that he might be the only non-french speaking big kid. His class only has 7 big kids now, and a class size of 17. See how that goes…

Quote of the day

Sam Vimes could parallel process. Most husbands can. They learn to follow their own line of thought while at the same time listening to what their wives say. And the listening is important, because at any time they could be challenged and must be ready to quote the last sentence in full. A vital additional skill is being able to scan the dialogue for telltale phrases such as "and they can deliver it tomorrow" or "so I've invited them for dinner?" or "they can do it in blue, really quite cheaply."
--(Terry Pratchett, The Fifth Elephant)
