After a snooze

 Actually I could not remember my password for this page.  Until now, I still have not figured it out. I was really quiet in Instagram but I posted a story maybe two months ago or more or less.  Nothing has changed,  I rest after work.  My husband watches a lot of football.  

For Year 6, my daughter gave up her spot in the Choir for Girl’s Football.  Initially, it made me tearful. Her voice needs training.  But she is amazing.  She could kick with her left foot, commit to headers and just run.  She won an Individual Trophy for Football at the end of the Year.  She became a Spelling Bee Champion. She is starting Secondary School on Tuesday.  We still have to trial how to  manoeuvre traffic from her school to a weekday Violin Lessons.  While Ballet on a different weekday starts way after school and is walking distance from our house, so there is leeway to prepare.  Then for her Piano and Musical Theory, Saturday is a no-conflict day, unless I have to work. At this point, she is under the covers, seeking comfort in Calpol. We were in Seville last week with 42 degree temperatures under the intense heat of the sun and still 42 degrees even after sunset.  Coming back to 12 degrees in England, playing with Kiu and Breckin in the garden has taken a toll on her body. 

At 11, some even younger in Primary School, a few kids have their mobile phones. Phones are great for communication. Hope my daughter uses it responsbly and not text too much about a whole load of nothing.
