Good Friday All,

So we are putting the torts out for the day as it is going to be sunny, and Jarrod says to me that we have 1 boy and two girls, so I ask him how does he know. To which he replies that Harry is flashing. So I get all excited and a bit panicy (after what happened with Kang) and I take a pic to share with you guys. Then I look at it again and think it looks funny, so I touch it quickly and it moves.. It turned out it was just a small slug which had taken up residence. Phew the panic was over for now.

In the UK, school uniforms have to be purchased and the stationery, sports gear and (sometimes) books thing happens here too.

The free bit is being taught.

School uniforms are not usually worn in the USA, nor France either, I think. I am sure a roomie will enlighten us.
AAAhhh, So there are somethings that you have to pay for.

More and more schools here in the US have went to uniform policy. My oldest daughter had to wear uniforms In the private school she attended pre-k3 & 4 and then k—5 in the public schools in Haughton Louisiana. We moved here to Marshall Texas in 2003 and the public and private schools all wear uniforms as well. All of my children now attend Hallsville school district due to the quality of education and they are one of the few remaining schools that do not require uniforms for k-12 grades.. now I think when you go to college, there are very few who require uniforms yet.

OMG IM IN LOVE!!! You know, I have never seen one in real life.. is he ok? What’s his story?

He “got himself into some mischief and is feeling a bit sorry for himself”

Young male exploring climbed into a bin and got stuck - could easily have been there for a couple of days. Food, rehydration and he’ll be back home pretty quickly in those circumstances.

EDIT
He is now being described as a tearaway, so he’s obviously bouncing back quickly. [emoji1]

Over here the collages and Universities do not require uniforms. Thank goodness.
