Husband’s been away for two weeks in the States and is going to Brussels tonight, straight after the transatlantic flight back. Daughter and I are planning to go to the airport and get his big bag and bring him a fresh shirt, after which he can fly on.
I remember having to do that for JoesDad on one occasion. Fresh off the plane from New York, he showered at Heathrow, swapped a suitcase of dirty stuff for a suitcase of clean stuff and then checked in for a flight to New Delhi. It was a killer. When he finally got home it took about a month for his bodyclock to know where he was.

Sounds awful. Glad husband isn’t flying to India! :eek:

Good luck with the meeting. It doesn’t sound like good news, but we can keep our fingers crossed. :)

My governor school is in the process of inviting a number of students, accompanied by their parents, for a meeting with the Principal and a governor to remind them on the school’s expectations of behaviour and/or “attitude to learning”.

They’re usually pretty positive meetings - a bit of a shock to a teenager that thought Mum wouldn’t know that he/she hadn’t been applying themselves appropriately!

It’s not like any of the adults were never teenagers themselves despite what the teenager concerned believes :D
Thankfully it was very good news. But was a secret until the announcement in Assembly. He was made Head Boy. I am a very proud Mommy today. Well today more so than usual.[emoji1] [emoji1]

Hey Lena, it seems to me that you will need no permanent home. Your home is everywhere on the world and mostly on airports !:eek::D

Have fun !

Was is a Head Boy ? Can you please explain ?:)
Lets see if I can explain.
First there are 12 Prefects chosen from the Grade 7's who are the seniors of the primary school. Their job is to help the teachers when necessary and to help during breaks if any kids need help etc. And the Head Boy and Head Girl are chosen as the senior/head of the Prefects.
Google Translate says:
Zuerst werden 12 Präfekten aus der 7. Klasse ausgewählt, die die Senioren der Grundschule sind. Ihre Aufgabe ist es, den Lehrern bei Bedarf zu helfen und in den Pausen zu helfen, wenn Kinder Hilfe brauchen usw. Und der Schulsprecher und das Schulsprecher-Mädchen werden als Senior / Leiter der Präfekten ausgewählt.

Good Morning All.
I am at Jarrods school waiting to have a meeting with the principal at his request. Will let you know later what it was about. I hope you all have an awesome day. Not chat later.
Good luck with that. Thank goodness those days are far behind me.
