4:57 pm	We did a karate grading yesterday.  We weren't due to grade till 20 May but that's when Bishop Mark is taking our morning service so the choir is doing something.  When we mentioned this to Sensei John and asked if we'd be ok to go to the one in the afternoon he said "actually there's one this Saturday.  I think you're all ready for it."  So that's what we did. C and O both passed quite comfortably.  Rob double-graded up to blue belt, which is the one I was going for so I pouted a bit - until Chris said he really liked what I was doing and he was putting me up to purple!  Was not expecting that. Of course, now I have to master the spinning back roundhouse kick, which considering I can't even get the spin properly is going to take some time. (Comment on this)

1:18 pm	sermon, grr Gospel reading on Sunday was the sheep and goats going "Lord, when did we ever see you...?" etc. Now, not only did James completely ignore the major issue I have with both that passage and the previous few weeks' readings, the gnashing of teeth stuff - which fair enough, it's tricky and other people have touched on it; but he began his talk by Totally Contradicting the whole substance of the passage - "I believe that you're saved if you accept the Lord and your name is written in the book of life" or some such [mindless repetition]. I mean, what is the point? (Comment on this)
1:13 pm	parents evening C's teachers all think he's wonderful.  Well, except the PE teacher ;-)  He just said C is well-behaved and works hard, and will probably get up to standard by the end of the year.  Ho hum. Also, his skills are better in isolation than in a game. The RE teacher said "almost nobody ever gets a 5a on this test - C got a 6c" Amazingly enough, the tech (woodwork) teacher gave him a rare 6c for planning.  Only 4a for making though - it was a bit rushed. One of the music staff who takes orchestra (which C has been to for only the last couple of weeks) remarked on his sight-reading. (Comment on this)
1:07 pm	Robert's dad Michael has died. It was an aortic embolism - sudden and totally unexpected. We are coping.  The boys were upset but went to choir and karate as normal, and seem to have slept well. (3 Comments |Comment on this)

2:43 pm	in case you're wondering I deleted them all (which was a PAIN because I only have a free account). And I have just checked the Wayback machine and it's not archived. No, nothing has happened, I just decided not to be out there and public any more ;-) (1 Comment |Comment on this)
