After a very late night (well for me) and after feeling tired all day, so tired that I contributed very little to last nights quiz, for some reason not understanding the questions, I slept fitfully. Not helped by Nig getting up in the night to go to the toilet and stepping on a dog who is a big baby at the best of times, and took about 10 minutes to settle because he just had to look in all the rooms to make sure everything was as it should be and decide where he was going to sleep!

So I wasn't impressed or in the mood when Nig started fiddling this morning at some unearthly hour.

"gerrrofff" I mumble, kicking him hard on the shins.

"time to wake up hun, I need a lift to the station"

"bugger off"

" up you get now, you know you want to really"

"No"

"Oh come on darling, for me, the sooner I get to work the earlier I will be home to torment you"

"another reason for me not getting up then isn't it"

So reluctantly I dragged my weary body out of bed and headed off to make some tea so that I could wake up properly.

So tody he has gone to work by train as he is working in Victoria. He could have taken the van, in fact work did say he could and told him where to park but last time he listened to them he got wheel clamped (their inability to provide parking permits is amazing) and knowing that I hate driving in London with a vengence, he decided not to risk getting clamped and having to call me out to rescue him.

His reasoning is he always thinks of me.

Simons presentation went well last night, not as good as previous years when they had a guest speaker but it was reasonable. He got an award of excellence as well which he is quite pleased with and he got his picture taken with his 'friend' - funny how his mother told him to join in with the picture and the sister of the friend disappeared - told him they made a lovely couple I just love embarrassing him.

For once though I have to say the summer school was a little organised and gave the level 3 students information about courses and careers in Archaeology, what is needed to get into university and what universities offer the courses. There was also this:

Where possible evidence of first hand knowledge of a ‘dig’ should be offered.

so I have been on the relevant website to find local archaeology society and emailed them to find out if he can join. He has some evidence, when he did the first year they were sent a DVD and booklet showing all that they did that year, so far nothing this year or last year though I have nagged him to write it up!

Right must try and get myself organised and wake up. I feel so sleepy and brain dead this morning, even thinking hurts lol! Doesn't help when you have a hyperactive child jumping around this morning either, can feel my nerves going on edge already!

Have a good day:)
