The next week or so is the last time all the kids (Jamie and the grand-kids) will be in school together. Next September Thom is off to the ‘big school’.

Yeah, I know it’s Monday night!
Sunday was a really nice day. It’s about time we had some good weather in the middle of July!
Anyway, I cleared the shed out on Sunday, and finally got to my bike! It’s the first time I’ve been able to get it out of the shed since before Christmas. I’ll get the rust cleared off it and start going to work on it again.
Steve, Kim and Megan came round. Kim’s seems to be recovering from her operation. “Still a bit sore” she says. Speedy recovery Kim. Megan did very well in her school report too.
Jamie got her bike out too. She’s rather too big for it now. We’ll have to see about getting her another one.

This evening I also helped Thom, my grandson, get set up with a Blogger! account hosted on Blog*Spot. It all went pretty smoothly. It’s pretty easy to use for the non-technical person and Thom is ten years old.
He also wanted to have pictures in his blog but Blog*Spot don’t allow that. So we also set up a 50MB Tripod account. So now he can upload pictures to his tripod account and reference them on his blog. Cool!
I think he’ll also end up learning some HTML and doing some pages on his tripod account too.

Just got back from a pleasant evening round at Graham and Jackie’s.
Les and Stacia were there too. Barbecue for tea and sitting around chatting on the patio. Lovely!
Graham and the kids are sleeping out in the tent pitched in the garden tonight. We’ll see if they last the night 😉

Jamie got her school report today. Excellent as usual! Her reading age is 11.8; that’s 11 years eight months and she’s still only seven! She did well in all her other subjects too.
Graham and Jackie came round tonight too. Their kids, Thom and Bekki have done very well in their reports too.
Another picture of Jackie. Getting famous! 🙂

I found out today, that Jackie, my daughter-in-law, read through pretty much the whole of my journal on Friday. She especially wanted me to mention her more!
So this ones for you Jackie! 😀
 

We then spent the rest of the afternoon, and into the early evening, having fun in the garden. The kids ran around and played, the adults sat around drinking beer, ouzo, raki and (in my case) coffee and chatted. Graham did another fake tattoo on Steve’s arm. Paula gave Graham a fake tattoo to cover his real one, and even I had one!  
Also Graham had his hair cut, and Steve had his highlighted and cut. This latter was a joint effort between, Jackie, Paula and Thom! At one point the kids disappeared next door to play with the kids there. Later the barbecue came out again, and we all had burgers and sausages.
Jamie really enjoyed her special day, as did we all. All in all, a wonderful afternoon

The brunch which turned into lunch, was great! Jan did us proud with Sausages, bacon, eggs, beans, mushrooms, etc., etc. The kids had stuff from the barbecue too. I think I ended up having third helpings! Yum yum. 🙂
