You and Ann both seem just right to me.<br /><br />That is very astute, Mig, though I'd have said bemusing rather than scary. I've often seen the look of bewilderment on people's faces when he starts to *explain* something. He never judges in the least and is predisposed to like people, so there's never any reason to feel intimidated and if there's anything to be explained it's best to ask me because I can interpret him.<br /><br />We'll meet next at Tim's party I think, when I'll be on my way to see her, but I'd love to call in next time.

But only the ball he was playing. I liked him a lot. He is lots of fun and just a tiny bit scary - you don't want to fall short with him. He's not out of this world but he does maintain his own personal perspective quite firmly.<br />Distinctive definitely but I have one of those of my own!<br />Do call in when you're on your way to Wiltshire some time.<br />xxxmighttp://letouttoplay.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-74840151146732476332012-07-01T16:02:59.933+01:002012-07-01T16:02:59.933+01:00A couple of years ago grandson Matthew asked if he...A couple of years ago grandson Matthew asked if he could borrow my old D.J. to wear at his end of school do ('prom' I think they call it- can't think why- it's nothing like a promenade concert). It fitted him well, so I told him to keep it -I hadn't worn it in twenty years or so.I was given it about fifty years or so ago by a family member. It wasn't new then. It'd be interesting to know just when it was built.<br />You mention 'oddities' in families and my family has its share of these, I'm afraid.

He doesn't seem to have scheduled any time for sleep between all that cycling, either.<br /><br />It's checked, and updated if necessary, every year and we're pretty hot on policies, of which we have dozens. The governors pick up on anything that needs clarifying - some of us are marvellously nit-picking. I certainly want no critical incidents to happen ever - but if one does, I'll cope. More challenged than excited though.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-35218638380119411852012-06-30T18:30:48.109+01:002012-06-30T18:30:48.109+01:00I couldn't drive that far these days - hope it...I couldn't drive that far these days - hope it goes well for him.<br /><br />And keep your CIP in your bedside drawers. Mr BW does - it saves getting up if push turns to shove. If the school's CIP doesn't tell you exactly wht to do, and in what order, then it needs re-writing. <br /><br />CITeam work was the most exciting and challenging I ever did.
