June 24th (Tues)

At 8 am the house is invaded. The plasterers are here! I escape rapidly to take the kids to school before retuning to the house. They are working at an incredible rate, but I can't find anything. 15 years accumulation of rubbish has been spread to all corners of the house. Making a cup of tea is a major logistical sourcing exercise.
I am pleased to decamp to Aylesbury to witness S's latest pre test effort. he's not too bad. he could squeak it, though if I had to bet it'd be agin.
an hour's break and then over to Heathrow to pick up J. She is planning her summer liver damage in Aya Nappa, and is currently roasting herself to a crisp under the sunbed whenever a moment is available. she still hasn't quite worked out that it's easier to control a one ton lump of metal in a confined space if you are not driving it at fifty miles an hour at the time.
I survive the experience, but really doubt she has the required maturity to pass a driving test.
A rings. She has booked her test. Another one who I'd be surprised should she pass, but here it is a question of belief and concentration.
At home the effect of the plaster is to saturate the walls and cause the electricity to trip out ever three minutes, so there is no telly and I am too fucked to think of much else to do. Accordingly it's kip onthe sofa till the two o'clock awakening
