My is the student ever happy.
We hauled ourselves out of bed this morning to take little D to see his mum. We do this every month. D himself put the kettle on to make sure we had coffee, in the process knocking the tea jar which fell out of the cupboard landing in a cloud of tea and thousands of pieces on the floor.
Dealt with and away to meet mum half way, well no, Mum you see has a range of responsibilities such as "looking after the kitten" which sadly, prevent her coming to get her son, this job falling to step dad. Step dad by the way being the person we normally make the arrangements with.
So anyway step dad was conspicuous by his absence, half an hour passed and we phoned our house, no phone calls registered there. Phone mums house no reply. Phoning 10 minutes later we were told they had not yet woken (at 10.45) and had a few things to do but they would be along in an hour or two and we could sit and wait for them.
The student took the news not at all well and we came home. Mind you she seemed to calm a bit when I experimented a bit with the VTR, the phrase "not getting in a car with you again" was heard and indeed our next little trip out was to drop off Bethan which involved the C5 and a student in the driving seat.
Now, you would have thought that the mother would be very apologetic and on the phone saying so, and if you thought that you would be wrong.
The student is quietly livid, the annual review in a couple of weeks could be "interesting", especially if the dippy idiot who is the reviewing officer suggests weekends at home again.
