A stroke of luck! Mum mentioned that she was popping into the library this morning, so I asked her, really casually, if she would mind taking a book back for me. She fell for it completely and put Goldfinger in her bag together with the complete works of some romantic novelist called Dale Spender. I shall no doubt have to reimburse her for the fine, but I will say that she can take it out of my Daily Mail cheque! Or should I say check – and mate, too, I believe.
Still nothing from the Examinations Board, and school resumes on Wednesday. I am sure that Simon will understand when I tell him that, much as I enjoy my sessions at the work bench with chisel and spokeshave, my stay in his class will be of very brief duration.
