Today was first day back at school after the summer holidays. Two months is a long time to take off...
Now the serious work starts again...
Our Boy is starting the preparations for the GCSC national exams this year with the math exam looming at the end of this year.
This term we are joined by my good friend from Oslo and her son who will be attending school with Our Boy.
They are staying with us for a few weeks while they are waiting for their apartment to become ready.
It is such a treat and luxery for us to have visitors from home staying with us for such a long time!
The boys have been getting ready for school this weekend and practising tying the school tie has been on the agenda.
Our Boy is a dab hand at this with 3 year practise of tying the school tie every morning, while it was more of a challenge for his Norwegian friend.
He will no doubt in no time become a tie tying champion ... ;-)
Så kjekt å ha besøk hjemmefra:-)
ReplyDeleteSlipsknuter kan være en utfordring - spesielt når man ikke gjør det hver dag. Ikke så ofte det blir brukt slips her i heimen, så vi pleier å ty til trinn - for- trinn - leksjon på nettet når det skal knyttes slipsknute her:-) Tenker din sønn er en racer på slipsknytting!
Så kos med besøk! Tenker meg lange skravlende kvelder og masse kos.. Herlig!
ReplyDeleteFor et fortrinn å få inn slipsknuten så tidlig, menge godt voksne som sliter med det her. Sier
vel mest om hvor ofte slipset er fremme :)
Kos dere masse masse!
Klem fra Tove
Så koselig at du likte veska mi, kjøpt i Egypt vet du. Utrolig hva de hadde der altså. Skal hilse masse fra svigermor og Elisabeth, det ble en veldig koselig kveld. Slipsknuter ja, her i huset er det junior som er ekspert på det. Var koselig med besøk fra de i helga også. Ha en super uke Mette.
ReplyDeleteTying a tie! That's funny! Martin recently had to tie the tie of a friend's son, before the annual piano concert. The dad (our age and European) somehow had skillfully avoided learning the skill (or at least well), so it was left to the Englishman to do the deed. (By the way, he's a mathematician too ...)
ReplyDeleteSkjønner at det må være herlig å ha langvarig besøk fra Norge!! Lykke til med slipsknuter og skolestart og det hele!!
