    Mmm planned slower start didn’t go to plan!

    Walk hounds, then a gentle run then walk stuff. Later maybe the fun bike and hopefully less work than last night

    Morning

    Was going to go for a ride and enjoy the lovely weather, but it's gone foggy all of a sudden.

    Hopefully it's just rising out of the valley and by the time I've had a brew it will have gone.

    My house was in that cloud:

    Going to be a hott-ish one here down in The Smoke suburbs, may need to catch a few rays while topping up the fish pond this afternoon.

    Must be lunch time soon...

    Got a middle of day ride in, first in a week, and first in a long time in the area where I lived before for many many years. I have to relearn the pothole patterns. And kept seeing things different to how they were back in the day.

    But hot. But absolutely good for the state of mind. Going out for an hour or 2 on the bike is just so good.

    Baking here in London.
    Rode into work this morning about 6am and road home using my longer route. Only 38kms in total but I’m doing it everyday.

    Evening folks,
    Another busy day of WFH, lovely outside and I was stuck indoors. Had new garage doors fitted yesterday and had to supervise the lad painting the walls today. All looks very good and the extra locks I added seem to work well.
    Only managed a ride round the block to see if chain still slips on old bike, luckily it seems ok.
    Today being Wednesday means virtual pub night. Not quite the same.
    Stevo, what's stropteen doing about uni next year? I see Cambridge are going online only, not sure about others. Looks like Freshers shenanigans will be severely curtailed at the very least. Female child had already decided to defer and that had already been accepted luckily, now a lot of her friends are looking at doing the same. DHL, do you have any thoughts if you're reading? Or Flan if on a rare visit.

    She's going for it this year if she gets the predicted grades - she figures a 5 year course is long enough without adding a gap year. Also I reckon enough students will be doing the same as your kid that they might have to lower the grade requirement for this year to fill their places - so if she slips a grade she might still get in this September.

    Also not sure how you're meant to teach veterinary medicine online only?

    Shakes head slowly, wot wiv all this Brian May stylee 70s hair going on.

    When I went to University, the tuition fees were covered, we were given a grant to cover living expenses. Ok I graduated with nowt in my bank balance but also I did not haVe 60-80k debts.

    So htf does this online uni courses work then? Why does a teen pay 9kpa or whatever the current skim rate is for something over the web. Got some public sector economics issues a-coming. Education final salary pension schemes for example.

    New world a-comin', innit.

    If you bring it back to life would it be an instant pass?

    Sounds like she's thought about it and has a plan. You're right about the 5 years after a year off, the lad has realised that as he's in year 2 and still has 3 years ahead of him, although 1 is a placement. Female child had been planning a year out already, the only thing that might have stopped her was an unconditional offer. Not sure what she's going to do with her time, jobs will be hard to come by with more competition from her peers and who knows what travelling will be like.
    Not great times for anyone but a bit of a downer on what should be a momentous year for them.

    Not sure yet - will vary by uni and maybe by course. I'm assuming I'll have to stump up the full fees. I nearly forgot how easy a grant made it.
