the computer expert.....

As part of her diploma in computing the student has been doing more and more modules of the ECDL. This has meant a deal of swearing perplexed looks and a computer in mortal danger of leaving the house via the upstairs window.



The week started with Word, lots of words in fact and most of them not very polite. But a diagnostic was done, confidence was upped and she past with a comfortable 82 percent.


On a roll she piled into power point  did the diagnostic and failed by one mark. Lots of points were made very powerfully when she got home and another go was in order. This being her second full attempt at the power point module. So anyway off she went this morning with much trepidation to have another go.

As we all sat at home there was considerable concern, would the cats all have to be locked out to keep them safe. Would children need to take to their beds early to avoid the wrath of Tarne.....


No, she came home in beaming benevolence with a score of 91 percent, beyond a comfortable pass. She is in a good mood, and of course it's her birthday this weekend. Still no idea what to get her, she did hint she might like to be taken for a meal. So i suppose I will have to check if the local pub has her favourite flavour crisps, as I've said before I never skimp when it comes to the student and I am a true romantic at heart.
