Raindrops are falling on my head


Well they have a drought in the south of england but here the roads are flooded and the garden is a swamp. It has been raining for most of the last week and the temperature dropped to 6 degrees celsius aargghhh!
Family news is that Debbie has been selected to compete in the long jump for her school at Gateshead stadium after her first two jumps ever were better than anyone in her year. She ended up coming 8th out of a field of 12 but was annoyed that she wasn`t allowed to measure her run-up! Anyway we are aiming for the 2012 Olympics where we are also expecting my niece Ellen to be running (she is currently 9 and finished her first 5 mile run racing her Dad - my brother - who struggled to keep up with her sprint finish)!
Jonathan had his 17th birthday with the cousins and has just done his English AS level on Chaucer - so we are well up on the contextual analysis of middle ages english. Ruth has 3 english exams to do over the next 3 weeks and then she is finished! We still haven`t heard from Camp America!!
Anne is applying for her new job this week , interviews have been set for the end of June. I am currently engaged in negotiations re my new Job which will be half time clinical and half time strategic medical management tho` much has yet to be agreed before I put pen to paper!!
Finally we are in a frenzy for the World Cup!!!!
