Sat outside son no 2's school whilst he collects his A-level results.

That bit's 'mundane', the importance of the results isn't.

Fingers crossed for all the students getting results today

Not a very good pic (phone, zoomed in and cropped, through a double glazed window) of the herd of Goldfinches & one Sparrow, visiting my bird feeder this morning.

Some drizzle on my morning perambulation of the Valley of Cones and now there are actually roadworks starting at another place as well.

The Cathedral clock appears to be running fast again. It was chiming four minutes before the hour. They seem to let it get to ten minutes fast before correcting it.

Raining in earnest now and a bit windy. Temp outside is 12.2C but feels colder due to wind chill.
Indoors day today I think.

Son no. 2 got A's in Politics and Geography, a B in History and somehow wangled a C in Maths.

Not bad given he's had a diagnosis of Dyslexia and Dysgraphia over the summer, where his school had only given him a laptop and nothing else (he can't write). We paid for the official diagnosis after the DSA requested it. Don't get me started on the lack of support from a selective grammar school, which has just failed an Ofsted due to poor support for their sixth-formers.

He'll be off to the University of Nottingham to study History and Politics.

The collective noun for goldfinches is a charm.

It is, but this lot descends so rapidly they even scare the Starlings away!

It wasn't raining, then it was and now it isn't.

Well done to son number two.

A "coming of age" moment; We've made an appointment for Youngest Son to get his citizens' ID card.
