New grumble.
Why did I give up alcohol for lent? It is one of the few things left I'm "allowed" and like a moron I am now denying myself my one glass on a friday night. Kicking myself as I type.....:thumbdown: |

'Never had to do a school run. :cool: Always lived either close enough to the school that my boys could exercise their legs getting there or provided them with a bus pass. Here in Australia they have/had the choice of walking or cycling. Ya can't beat set and forget :thumbsup:

I never let mine ride or walk when they were young. Daniel Morecombe was a student at their school for a while, made me realise quick smart bad stuff happens anywhere. They rode when older, well when it wasn't some delightful weather like 34C 90% humidity, or the rain was coming down like Niagra falls for weeks on end. It was quite funny some kids would have no choice and would arrive as wet as stepping out of the shower, but in full school uniform. Huge electrical storms were interesting the school would debate if to send them home or not, got it wrong once, eldest rode home as a mini tornado came through, as he opened the front door the window blew out:blink: Been really calm this summer, but wow some summers we had some mind blowing weather. |

We were fortunate enough for my wife to work in an office block right next to my boys primary school ten minutes walk from our house and luckily the best school for miles. She arranged her work hours to align perfectly with school hours. And once they were at high school they had to catch a bus. Here in Australia we identified our preferred schools and then settled in the immediate vicinity to be an easy walking/cycling distance away. Each to their own, but for us we thought it best to make our kids as streetwise and independent as we are/were. :)

My old home town. Anyway my grumble. Whilst I love Calibre, and it's really useful, why must the guy create updates on a weekly basis? Can't he save them up for once every three months? It seems like every time I open it up it wants to update. |
