Bounce! Bounce!! Bounce!!!
Two wonderful things happened yeasterday.
- Internetness from home is now possible.
- Young’un started school.
So that researcher-fellow-guy-person saved his marriage by sorting out the BT gremlins. God, they suck. If the engineer who set up our line had done their job properly we would have been live a week ago. Grrrrr.
The school situation is looking good and there is some prospect for actual academic stimulation. It looks like the tike will get to play both his band instruments in an orchestra. He’ll definitely be getting personal tuition on the trumpet but it also looks like there’s a french horn at school for him to play. The foreign language side of the equation has gone from famine to feast as he gets to study both French and German. The snag is that they are already two years in and the school is taking a get stuck in and make the best of it approach. Well at least they actually think foreign languages are important unlike our home school which doesn’t even expect any exposure to a foreign language to graduate.
Current temperature: here 21C/70F, there 84F/29C

Cool! Watched the podcast thingie to get a look at the new digs. Very spartan as yet, I imagine it will cozy up fast though. Nic, if you talked too much, I couldn’t hear you. The only thing I got was some mumbling (presumably Nic) with interspersed “yays” and “Whoo-hoos” from Sue (which necessitated turning the volume down) and comments from Tom that his dad is obsessed with flower pictures. I assume there was more to the soundtrack? Hehehehe.
