Update

Well we are all better from our colds except P who's had a bit of an issue with his ear which made him quite deaf for a while so he kept going:"Sorry what did you say? Pardon?"  every time J or I made any sort of noise which got a bit irritating. And he wanted the volume up too loud. It's getting better now, thankfully. I suppose that's what life is like all the time for some people though.

The solar repair man came and repaired the system and two days later it started leaking again. Sigh.

P is sanding our floor which I've been nagging him about suggesting he gets on with for ages so it's good but he's doing it but noisy. He wants to start a church housegroup in our house in September but I'm saying we have to get the floor done first.

J has started doing some Maths tutoring at school - helping a Year 8 girl who's in the lowest set. He quickly realised that she was trying - and failing - to do quite complex calculations in her head. When he got her to write it down step by step she started getting the answers right. 

He's also started doing 'STEP' Maths after school one day a week which is an extra exam some unis want them to take - it's quite hard so a challenge for him.

J went to a Physics Masterclass at Cambridge last week which he really enjoyed.

I'm going to stop now because the computer keeps crashing and I don't want to lose what I've written.
