Actually sitting near the departure gates in Luton Airport after having our flight delayed by about 8 hrs. Wouldn't be so bad but Easyjet called us into the airport early as they had an earlier slot. Tried to sleep for a while but there's bodies everywhere.
So May. What the heck did we do in may? I remember a nice little trundle down to Itteringham May Fayre. Jenny went full on with her exams. The weather tried to perk up but from memory we still had to fight off a persistent cool Easterly wind. My work was manic as usual. I've been asked to cut down the hours I do (no laughing in the back row). Footy season ended well for the Canaries finishing in mid table obscurity. There's been quite a cull of some of the fringe players and some much needed new blood stock come in to freshen up the squad. Sad to see Grant Holt go. He's been a talisman for NCFC since the dark days of League1.
Monday Night Old Boys Football up at the village school seems to have been a hit with a regular good turn out. I really enjoy putting myself through my paces though I am happy to admit to being utterly rubbish at footy nowadays.
Rosie has got herself a conundrum with what to do on Wednesdays now. She has discovered a passion for netball, trampolining and now has an option to go to a surf life saving club in Cromer - all clubs run at the same time. I think she will be bouncing for a while longer.
DG started to get itchy feet with her career and applied for a job at a local special needs school and though she didn't get the job, it opened her eyes to apply for other posts. In June she successfully applied for a job at a large junior school a little way from home so will start September away from GVS after 9 years. Rosie will spend her last year in junior school on her own two feet. I reckon it will be good for her as she prepares for high school.
Jenny finished high school in June after working her little socks off to make sure she gets the best possible grades. We'all find out how she got on in August, before she starts 6th form college in September. She wasn't done with Sheringam High School till the summer prom was over. She worked really hard on organising it and while it was a success, she was really upset when everyone buggered off to another party after a couple of hours.
We had a great family day out at Newmarket races on one of their music nights. Lawson were OK but The Saturdays were awful.
The weather has at last got its act together and (if I ever get there) Norfolk will be hotter than the Med! Lots to do coming up over the summer and lots of ways enjoying the long warm days. I have done a lot of cycling, a few Parkruns and even played golf with Jimmy at the weekend for the 1st time in a year or more. DG has been running most days and is now as thin as a stick.
It was great to have my brothers and their families up for an enjoyable feast with dad recently too.
Sleep depravity suggests I should stop writing for now. Thanks for reading
