Back home up Point Hill again

OK- so another few days go by and I have to catch up a little bit on what happened.
Again – is this OK?  It won’t be about today particularly!
Friday saw me at two schools – one for student observation and the next for the video project.
Showed the children the DVD of their videos at the latter.  Great excitement – even from the group that lost their sound (and I couldn’t find it anywhere).  Their productions are a mixture of news satire and play. Some original music and some clips from favourite CDS.  They made covers in Publisher and I tangled with an unfamiliar computer room.  Windows XP.  Not too bad – found my camera in the system tray and they included pictures in their covers.  Next week – a premiere for their parents.  And some research interviews about their time in the project.
Saturday – football.  Jk in the morning up to the heath. Losing three cup games in a row in steady drizzle. but not unhappy. played well. There’s a good atmosphere in the schools’ league on a Saturday.  The Sunday league can be quite competitive and a bit shouty.
Later, to the Palalce where they beat Liverpool 1 – 0. All of us went and J has become a Palace fan, looked round when AJ scored and she was as pleased as anyone else!  A nervous time in the second half but we held on.  Even if we go down it’s been great – just for days like this.
Sunday – loads of jobs.  The list goes: car, recycling, grass, tidying, cooking, a bit of shopping etc.  A good day though – Jk’s Sunday football was off and so we got a lot done.
J’s brother called in from Melbourne for the first time in ages.  Long chat about music and football and then J filled him in on how (their father) B is at the moment.
A went with a friend to Bromley shopping for jeans etc.
Mental notes – Jk’s birthday fast approaching and we need to sort this out.
Spent a good 40 minutes with Jk at the end of the weekend, kicking a ball backwards and forwards on the Heath.   We went one-on-one at the end and he ended up trying to take my legs away!
B over for dinner.  I dropped him back at his flat and he was quite breathless.  Waited downstairs for a short while with the card players while I went and got his inhaler.  Then he went upstairs. 
I drove home up Point Hill.
I like returning that way.

Still can’t find it in me to post about the upcoming election.  The only way to vote seems to be the lesser of two (or more?) evils.

Other technical things to do soon – upload more pictures.
Find out how to upload from my phone.
And really sort the appearance of the thing.
And a bit more of a focus?
Don’t know yet.
