The house over the road is for sale. The old Greek lady has decided to go back to her village, live with her daughter. Her olives are just about ripe so it's a shame she'll be leaving them behind. I'm not sure ours are as good. We've had so much wind and rain this week, I haven't even uncovered the rabbit for about ten days.
And finally, I'm going to bed early. Lot to do tomorrow. Finn is bringing home a billet from some posh school up north.
Speaking of posh schools, we went to his open day at his college on Sunday. Very nice. It'd definitely suit him better. SOOO undecided... but leaning towards it because it'd suit his learning needs the best and surely I have to consider that. I can, after all, look after his soul. And his family will keep him grounded, for sure.
So buzz buzz life goes on. Wherever you are, I hope you're fine. I'll leave you with one of my quotes from one of my favourite people, Oscar Romero,
"Peace is the calm, generous contribution of all to the good of all."
He also said, "There aren't two categories of people. There aren't some that were born to have everything, leaving the rest with nothing, and a majority that has nothing and cannot taste the happiness that God has created for all. The Christian society that God wants is one in which we share the goodness that God has given for everyone."

And while I'm in absolutely no place to offer advice about your children's education, I think you're absolutely right that you can look after Finn's soul and that you'll all keep him grounded. Your family never ceases to amaze me at how wonderful it is and how well you all fit together and work. You're an inspiration and I have no doubt whatsoever that you'll keep making the right choices for your kids and help them to become the amazing adults they're so clearly going to be.
And thanks for your kind words. I only hope my children can do well. Today I was teaching and Asher appeared at the back of my classroom to give me my phone I had left at home! My Year 9 children were all buzzing about him in his St Pats uniform until I said it was my SON and they all squealed.
Fledge needed to use my mobile phone while we were out yesterday and it was amazing how 'different' she found it!
I like your peace quotations.
