    Pip was first used by f0xh0les, it's just taken me a while to use it. It's fab!

    Don't be too admiring, karma! After about 200m of slightly up then flat, it's downhill for about 1.5 miles and I got straight through 2 sets of lights and round 2 roundabouts with only having to slow, not stop. It's a personal challenge when I can get fuel and head straight home. And it was 77 by the time I got home, then 52 after collecting pip... You get the picture!

    I didn't clear any space for exam stuff; I filled what little space there is with a myriad of elephant and giraffe pieces 😂. Whoops! I have pieces for about 8, one giraffe ear to stitch up, and about 6 bodies to stuff and sew up. I think I might have 4 sets of eyes ready. I don't like doing eyes. They're so fiddly. 3 bits for each one. However, it is 4 weeks to the fair, so I'd better not slack off to much, cos I'll be in the throes of exam stuff by then and won't have a lot of free time.
    That said, I'm now upstairs and about to read my book😆. Eyes can wait until tomorrow. We're not going anywhere that I know of, so plenty of time (famous last words...) for laundry, eye cutting out, eye assembling, body stuffing and Pro Bull Riding watching.

    I didn't have 4 sets of eyes already made, only 2. But now I have a total of 8. I think. Or 9. Or possibly 10. Regardless, I'll need about 12...
    3 loads of laundry all line dried.
    Pip persuaded out for a short walk.
    No bodies stuffed and no bull riding watched, as I discovered a crossfit competition on utube.

    One more week until half term. Phew. And my first component starts in earnest in 10 days. Yay.
    Not having y11 classes last week made a good difference. Especially on Thurs. I did some sorting, clearing out, filing and labelling.
