Catch Up

I have no idea where the time has gone but I've not had any of the discipline that j had at the start of the year with keeping this diary up to date. It's a shame because I'd done so well in the first couple of months. Not sure what's happened really, I've just become very lazy and slack with it all. 

Not sure where to start with this update. I'll not try to cover everything with this so let's see what happens

I'm on the train traveling to Peters books right now. They've reduced my hours to only two days a month which is a disappointment but they shouldn't have because they definitely need me more involved. Ah well. Work is hard at present, I'm back doing a lot more with EdCo and we know the stress that includes and sure enough it's happening. I'm try to be better at managing it but it's not ideal

Raintree is going ok and I honk they're happy with what I am doing for them

Lewis has been around for a couple of weeks now which has been good but seeing how he spends his time is a bit disappointing, he's likely failed a couple of exams and will need to take retakes but there is no method or effort or quantity to the revision work he's doing. He's gone up to Lancaster yesterday to look at houses for his Sellafield work but I think he's wasting his time and will have to drop out. I hope I'm 100% wrong but I'm not so sure. 

On the other hand Charlotte has been brilliant and is working so very hard. It's great to see the dedication she's putting into her work and we just wish Lewis would follow her example. She's stressing last night but she really couldn't do any more work than she already has done. She deserves to do well, fingers crossed. If she doesn't do well in her exams with the work she's out in then I really don't know what she will do as it will be clear that exams aren't for her!

Jacks knees are still playing him up. He was at physio yesterday and given a load of exercises to do so we will see if he works on those and sorts himself out. He has been training with the Oxford city JPL side a couple of times and he's good enough to play and it would be good for him. They want me to run the team but I don't want to. His time at Horspath is over and he's leaving them to play for Oxford City on a Sunday now. Can't blame him, Horspath wasn't enjoyable. 

I worked with Barry on our patio at the weekend. All day Saturday I was picking up concrete and filling a skip. Really hard work and I was shattered by the end of the day. I didn't stop and I did my fair share, certainly a good shift. It's Tuesday today and I am still aching. So glad that I'm not doing that as a normal job!!
