Speculation, Fact and Fiction

Bad news: I've just spent the last hour and more resolving internet connectivity problems hereabouts. I could really do without this in a week that's already been a disaster as far as productivity goes.

Good news: parents' evening yesterday was a series of teachers saying nice things about junior son and offering advice on how to improve on already impressive performance.

Bad news: the proceedings were thrown into considerable confusion by the fire alarm going off.

Good news: we did still make it to aikido class on time.

Bad news: my practise ended ten minutes early thanks to an inadvertent clash of heads. It was equally as much my fault as his. Given I'm the senior grade, that makes it all my fault.

Good news: I have an offer of some very interesting teaching work in June - that may well lead on to something even more interesting. Details to follow in due course.

So, overall, this week probably just inches into the plus column.

But I would really, really like one with fewer peaks and troughs next, if you please.
