    :heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.

    The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own, no apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.

    Yes it was a glorious boiling hot day at the Barbican in London and we went to a local pub for a drink with him in his robes - don't know who was grinning more.
    Today he finally got the result he wanted and has been accepted by a school in Suffolk to be a History teacher.
    We are so chuffed for him.
    Well done darling.

    I think he will so long as he can keep up with the pressure, I was blown away by the lesson plan for today's interview/lesson.
    Being a teacher is not easy - I couldn't do it.
