Happy Yorkshire Day! The region where I was born and still live celebrates its identity and history today, and for probably only the second time this decade, I’ll be spending all day in it. Indeed, this weekend is very much the calm before the storm, as for the next two weeks I’ll be working six-day weeks (Monday-Saturday) ahead of Results Day next Thursday and Clearing. It’s our busiest time of year in university admissions.
As such, this weekend is likely to be a quiet one. Besides work, we have no firm plans for the rest of the month, but we may squeeze the odd day out – especially closer to the August Bank Holiday weekend. Which is especially late this year as the 31st August falls on a Monday.
I guess there will be some time spent preparing our ten-year-old for their final year at primary school. They’ve put on a growth spurt recently and so it looks like we’ll need to buy all new school uniform, as their clothes were getting a little small when they finished last month. And then we’ll have to repeat it all over again next year when they move up to secondary school and have a completely different uniform.
Most of this month’s blog posts were written last month, and include several about our holiday in Wales – the first of which will be ready to read on Monday.
