Last day of invigilating tomorrow until January. One lad always comes in late then sits down and do nothing until time is up, apart from scribbling all over his test paper.
I wonder why he comes in at all. I guess his parents are ordering him to sit the exam whether he wants to or not, and definitively not in his case.

My bus pass is up on 30th April 2028.

Checked mine, it's Oct 2028 which tells me i have at least that long before I pop my clogs.

I got my bus pass when I was 60. I think they run for 5 years and I'm on my 3rd reissue ( they have kept the original photo ). Had a bit of a dodgy time health wise when I thought i'd better just get the 1 year Railcard instead of the 3 year one, but fortunately just keep plodding along 🤞😁

What age range are they ?

Year 11, so 15 / 16 years old.

Seems it’s different up here. No expiry date.

I have the Saltirecard it doesn't seem to have an expiry date either.

That is bloody sad......and burden of the economy

My Bro envigilated for the same age group. He lasted (i think) 2 years and that was more than enough for him.
He switched to helping needy children (aged 6-7) with thier reading and that gave him much pleasure.

Today is my birthday, I've done nothing. The weather has been unbelievably wet. Oh well, tomorrow should be better. Hoping to get to Morton lochs in Tentsmuir forest over the weekend. But, not by bike, it may be a bit soggy for that.

I must go and check mine.

I'm not allowed one yet

It is on the list to get in March!!

Happy Birthday. Shame about the weather. Really windy here now but looks like a dry start tomorrow so I’m looking forward to my morning walk.

Bit late to say enjoy the day.
Hope you got some cake!
