Not a good one. The previously on the fence, just about Southampton, Young Adult #1 is now a confirmed Red. Her boyf is a Red. Her mum and sister are Reds, and Liverpool are presently ripping Roma apart 5-0 at Anfield.
There was no way I could fight all that off, people, although youāll be pleased to know that I rather bitterly included a picture of Theon Greyjoy in the Facebook FamChat.
Teenage Mutant achieved his PADI open water diving certification today- heās pretty chuffed and so are Mrs C_S and me. Nice to see him have an interest that gets him out of doors and isnāt online gaming related.
Cracking hobby, hope he goes onto do more. Advanced open water, wreck and nitrox courses pretty much open up most recreational dives. Rescue diver is good fun as is search and recovery where you get to piss about with lift bags
Yeah heās planning to, after getting a bit more experience.
If you have asked me that heād want to dive when I first took him to parent / toddler sessions at the local pool I would have said no way - heād could only sink like a stone. Mind you thatās probably why he likes diving.
Young Adult #2 has four A levels to her name. She got Bās for everything. Her sister got a couple of Aās, but only did three. Naturally, weāre all very proud.
The school want to pay to get two of her grades re-marked. They reckon sheās been done up. Sheās made up though. That girl aināt leaving Liverpool. Sheāll end up going to Liverpool Uni when she finally decides and she can get in anytime she wants.
Partner had an interview today and heās been offered a new role. It is a step up. I knew heād get it. Now just need to have some of his ability to do well in interviews rub off on me.
I have put him on the car insurance on the understanding that a request to drop off / pick up me and Mrs C_S from the pub at any time we choose is non-negotiable
My mum & stepdad did this for me, and made the same request.
I happily obliged, regularly. Be warned, I did use it to then start strong arming lifts back, though mostly because they set their stalls out early and told me to make my way most places.
āIf you canāt get there/back you shouldnāt goā
So, I alluded to a busy weekend on some thread somewhere.
After a very stressful few days, KRG and the very wonderful KRgf can now call ourselves home owners.
Was surprisingly bittersweet, weāve left East London where weāve called home for 4 and a bit years. Weāre further out, but have more to show for it. And, having lived in a basement all that time, itās wonderful to have a fair sized garden.
