It has been quite sticky today with the afternoon turning hot but no real sunshine. I've been at work all day. I had the Year 2 class in the morning for some peaceful maths and literacy with the bonus surprise of a new boy starting in the morning. After lunch I moved to the Year 1 class where they were busy painting flowerpots to sell to their mums at the school Summer Fayre. We got half of them done and we shall be doing the other half tomorrow afternoon. Linas turned up at school at 3.30 having walked 8 miles from home. He said it was too nice a day to stay indoors so he decided to walk into town taking a longer more scenic route than just going down the main road. As I had a staff meeting on drawing which I was partially running he took his skateboard from my car and went off round town for an hour. 
On our way home we called in at the Co-Op as it was the right time to pick up the reduced bargains and we struck lucky as the reduced items were being reduced again. We got some cold meats and 3 more of the stuffed crust pizzas at half the price we paid last time. I'm not sure how the champagne truffles found their way into my basket, must have been fate.
Tonight Linas finally heard about the wine waiter's job. We had been waiting on tenterhooks all week-end but this evening he got a phone call and they are giving him a week's trial starting tomorrow. I only have to take him into Barnstaple as they run a mini-bus from their hotel there out to the Saunton Sands but it will be late pick-ups until he earns enough money to buy himself a motorbike.

Best of luck to Linas.
Good news about Linas getting the job.
Kids out of school here for the summer. When do you get your break?
It's only a trial week but at least he is getting a chance. Schools don't break up until July 20th so it is a few more weeks to go. Then the children go back in the first week of September so the summer holiday seems to fly by.
