Fatigue


The kids are in bed now.  Both are tired and have had a busy day.  Last week, my son sat the eleven plus, while my daughter was at a sleep over.  It is hard to determine how he did, but he appeared find about it.  While we tried to get him to relax afterwards we later found out that a friend of ours quizzed their child about what the questions were, what they thought the answers were, and then told them that they probably failed!

On Sunday morning, my son and I went for a bike ride.  We had not done so in a few weeks, and this one was interspersed with stops to play Pokémon GO.  He has wanted to do this for a while, but doing so when people are in town is not a good idea.  Doing so before people go into the town centre though is a different matter as then he cannot cycle into them.  That and there is less traffic. 

On Wednesday, I got a new car.  It goes broom and is a lot more enjoyable to drive than my last car. Though my last car had key less entry and ignition.   I have been making a mistake with this every day since then, but it is so much fun to drive.

And on that topic, both children had parties to go to, my son in the afternoon, my daughter in the evening.  After collecting my son, we went for a drive and ate dinner in Earls Colne.  After returning home (our fuse box had blown due to an issue with the central heating circuit). I went to collect my daughter.  And we went for a drive afterwards where she got to listen to music and I had fun driving.  Though my excuse was that I wanted to fill up my car!

Anyway, they are in bed now, though sending them to bed was complicated by them being tired.
