Then there was the special school transport saga which evolved over a new pupil on the taxi route having trouble making the transition from classroom to taxi at the end of the day and my own dear boy taking personal affront at what he perceives as 'naughtiness'. This has spilled over into home life too, with my 'naughty' daughter having to get out of the car and walk home whilst I stalked her by driving beside her.
So that was my summer. Thankfully we are in recovery and have much more positive things to post.
