What's happening in your world?

[Farseer]

Well, I have reached a kind of "end of an era" and I find that I am experiencing a strange sense of relief (and tiredness, as though I can suddenly relax!) now that my second eldest son has completed his secondary schooling. While he will head to university next year for four years, a burden has been lifted now that I have seen he and his older brother through their schooling...a triumph made all the sweeter knowing that I taught each of them here at home for the first eight years of their schooling 'careers'.

Of course, there is still my daughter to teach, and many more years to get through, but my sons were almost like twins in many ways and so it feels like a door closing with one finishing last year and the other this. A nice feeling that...to complete a leg of an exhausting task that I set myself so very long ago.

Hopefully the next couple of years ahead will see me able to take down the 'Home Sweet Home' sign that's hanging in my car...
