GCSE results are dished out today at 10.30. L has made Son promise to let us know. My breath is bated.
Son does as he promises and he rings us. He comes out with 12 which is far more than you were even allowed to take in my day. 9 of which are useful e.g. grade C or above. It’s impressive all round but particularly in the subjects he wasn’t supposed to do well in, such as English and French. Then in IT, his, so far, chosen career, in which were already prepared for only a double C or a double D, which sound very like bra sizes. He comes out with a double E. Impressive for a girl, if we're talking about her chest, but perhaps not for a career in IT.
L’s having a nightmare day; her boss has turned up late, and she is threatening to eat herself to death. This probably has something to do with the fact that he’s already not popular because he told her she looked a bit ‘Porky’ yesterday. Naturally that didn’t go down well. So she was already talking about immersing herself in cake to try and get herself over that hurt. Personally, I though she looked very svelte when I saw her at the pool. She was going to be AF tonight bit I fear that may no longer be the case.
Had a good pub lunch, a giant Yorkshire pudding full of sausage, croquettes and peas. Washed down with Amber Stout, which thankfully isn’t a pale coloured stout but is a normal coloured one brewed in the Amber Valley
I get home and take Doggo on park, after which he’s totally knackered. L says she'll perk him up with a sausage. Then to squash. I win the first game but then go 2-1 down. As I’m winning the fourth game, he starts to struggle with his back. I have no sympathy and easily win the decider to claim another famous victory. Wonder if I'll get a sausage for that. In the bar afterwards, Oldershaws beer from Grantham 3.9%.
L has only just left work and texts to say that she’s up to her old Good Samaritan tricks again. She’s found a wino lying in the street and is helping him home.
L cooks and despite the fact that she had threatened to serve up a healthy meal of alcohol and cake, we have spam curry instead. We do have wine though; two large glasses of white wine, L poured them. Then one small glass of red, I poured that.
