This evening was a parents information night at LGR's new school. I was lucky enough to attend while the kids stayed home with Mrs G. I'm glad I went - it gave me an insight into the curriculum and teaching methodologies that will be used and a bit of a view of the teachers and staff as regular people (versus the 'school teacher mode' that we normally see).
It was also a great chance to drive through some enormous puddles and make a huge mess of the car (and those around me). The rains are back and it has bucketed down tonight. Within two hours everything went from being surface dry to completely sodden and waterlogged. And a selection of roadways were flooded :-)
