A real softie

The day was spent packing and doing a little yoga in the afternoon. I then got a call from the shop to deal with a return clock so I had to nip in before closing to check it out. I did not want the customer to have to wait a long time till my return. On the way back we called in and saw the grandchildren. Annabel was very pleased as she got her 11+ results and passed. The family was quite relieved as she had sworn she had failed and in fact only completed 3/4 of the first paper. She has got quite anxious about it all. I still think it is a system that should be abolished as it puts stress on children and by implication defines them as successes and failures which is a nonsense. In many ways it defines their life chances at a young age.
Ricky the dog has turned into a real softy. He is very intelligent and works well to command having been trained as a working dog but you can see why he didn’t made the grade. He is just not bold enough!
