There, holding a kayak paddle!
That picture reminds me of the song that IZ remade. Somewhere over the rainbow. I think I know which one is you. It is the small paddle sticking straight sideways instead of the big ones sticking straight up. Looks fun.

Yep they do stretch it out a lot, 24 exams in 4 weeks. Sometimes there are 2 in one day.
No wonder they have to stretch it out! That's about 6 per week. The US has around 6 to 8 all in the last week but we only have around that many classes a day...possibly. Are some of the exams just different areas of the same subject? Or do you really study 24 different subjects? Oh my garsh...

It seems like you've been going through exams for several weeks now. The UK must stretch it out. (Probably good!) When I was schooling the exams for all classes were in the last week or so.

These are public exams sat nationally by all students in Year 11 (aged16) across the country. Typically, each student takes 8 subjects but each subject may involve more than 1 exam. Everyone will sit maths simultaneously... and Geography ... etc

There are many subjects that could be sat, and a one week school holiday at the end of May in all schools, so the spacing is mostly due to other students sitting an exam subject that you didn’t opt for.

Welcome back Linda.
It's a shame about your Mum and worrying for you, but I'm sure your sister keeps a close eye on her.
Does she have a hearing aid yet?
You can get some brilliant and discreet ones now. They are expensive but much better than the NHS hearing aids.

She has had hearing aids as long as I can remember. She had an operation on one ear when I was aged about 5 (50 years ago) and that is now her better ear. The worse ear is more or less useless now and the better ear is deteriorating. She has been for a scan and is back to see a specialist again soon.

Good mornooning all.

Yesterday vanished in a whole load of chores and I never really got chance to sit down and catch up on here. I still have chores to catch up on, but am starting the day with my ipad and breakfast in the conservatory.

Lyn, I hope the wedding goes well. Enjoy the day.

One of yesterday’s chores was replacing my bird seed feeders with squirrel resistant ones that I had ordered on the internet. The grey squirrels had started dismantling my previous ones, removing the ports so all the seed from the feeder fell on the floor. The new ones have weight-sensitive perches and a shutter closes off the feeder when something as heavy as squirrel is on the feeder.
