hello. how are you ? good i hope.
normal tea – please do not put early grey in here. that’s the kind of container we’re going to be leaving behind when we move to the new office in a fortnight’s time. and the magical view. oh well.
jane took her car to get its WOF today. that’s like an MOT but spelt differently and done every 6 months here.
jane had a voucher for this WOF so it was free which was a great price. tomorrow my car is going in, so let’s hope it’s equally bargainous. although i suspect it won’t be as we only had one voucher.
this evening i got to the park and ride to find my car wasn’t in the car park. gulp. then i remembered i’d walked to my local bus stop this morning as i was expecting to have breakfast with a chum who forgot. so instead i walked back from the car park and all was well.
esther gets current events quiz each week and i always forget to copy it for you to try at home. you might need to click on it for bigness.
the objective is to get the answers whichever way you can, which can mean asking friends/family, looking in the paper and looking up on the internet. sometimes the questions cover topics you’d probably not want to draw to the attention of 11 year olds.
we spent quite a while trying to work out the google search which would give us the answer to number 2 (which nearly took us on an unhealthy detour at one point), but we eventually found the story here . not a story to read to through with the kids i’d have thought.
and i’m not sure of the moral story behind a national hero renowned sporting coach being let off for speeding either. but hey ho.
i’m off to wellington tomorrow for three days and will be back on late on thursday. so i’ll leave you in the capable hands of jane

One response to “quizzical”
What a good idea to have a “Current Events” quiz to make children more aware of what is going on. It was recently discovered that a large proportion of UK children think that Buzz Lightyear was the first man on the moon.
