A bit of a fuzzy weekend
Despite all the disappointments life throws, today has been a happy house. 97 percentile in GL exams for the grammar schools and an equivalent score for the AQE in the house today. If nothing, the child is in the house is a rockstar. All within months of arriving in a new country, new city. When…
