It has been a while since I last posted. In fact, when it comes to the family, this is my first post of the month. My daughter has come back from a friends birthday party which involved climbing and mud, lots of mud. And she seems to have enjoyed it. In the party bag which was given out beforehand, there was items to use in the shower that they used afterwards, which meant that the decision that my wife and I had made for her to go straight into the bath, or shower (it was to be her choice) was not needed. And in the last week I went on a school trip with my son to Bhaktivedanta Manor which was fun as well. It was great to be able to spend time with my son on a trip and also help out with his school. The pictures are from there as taken by the school. Sadly I have been unwell since then, though I was able to get my annual appraisal done.
On a different note, I am nervous about Arsenal as the final game of the season determines if we finish in a top four slot and then qualify for the European cup, where, if we qualify, we will fail to get beyond the first knockout stage after the group stages. Or we may finish fifth and qualify for the Europa Cup. While we would have more chance of winning it, playing in it means we will have no chance of winning the league at home.
My kids are not playing chess as much as I would like but I have been doing better. Well, in two out of the last three tournaments I have. I did not fare well in this one, but came second and first in the other two!
I would post more, but as I don't feel well and am going to go to bed now.
