Times have changed since I left Straya. They did’t allow women or the internet in Ballarat as both would interfere with the footy and/or frighten the sheep.

Ok, my turn:
FoL#1 Ellie got a Distinction * for the first year of her Level 3 BTEC in Animal Management. Really chuffed for her because she had a massive wobble when she was doing A levels, and changed college and course halfway through, and it’s turned out to be a brilliant decision by her.
FoL#2 Lauren got two 7s, five 8s, a 9 in her GCSEs and a Distinction * in her Sports Studies BTEC. Which is all A’s and A*s and A**s in old money.
Brains from their mum etc…

FoL V2.0 picked up her GCSE results this morning. All is good (one 9, five 8s and three 7s) to wind up what has been a bit of a stressful week in my household. It’ll be 5 years until FoL V3.0 faces up to GCSEs so we’ll try to recover in the interim.

Times change!
When I did ‘O’ Levels, Grades 1-6 were passes and 7, 8 and 9 were fails.
Soon after I think 1&2 became A
3&4 were B
5&6 were C etc.
