25th August 2022

Not much news but today is results for GCSE exams and Lillie has been on tenterhooks waiting for this day to arrive.  I doubt she has much to worry about and will get into her chosen college - Rochdale easily enough.  Yesterday afternoon she spent baking biscuits and chocolate brownies to take into school for her friends.

She bounces into the bedroom, all dressed up, in black and short tartan kilt admiring herself in front of the mirror.  She has confidence I will give her that and she works hard, but I think it is because of a certain insecurity.  I have told her to concentrate on the positive and not worry about the negative, but I know the uncertainity is worrying her.

Exams are killers, all that time studying, then those exam questions on subjects you may not have studied but choosing others instead. Coffee calls.

  3. Can't Lillie attend college in Yorkshire? Mixing with Lankies could be troubling. She might even hook herself a Lanky boyfriend and that really would not do. Fingers crossed she has earned splendid grades that will surely lift her self-confidence.

    1. ;) We live on a fine line between Yorkshire and Lancashire, the Town Hall is split on the matter, or at least the river draws the line. Rochdlae is the one she was aiming for.....

  5. It's OK to worry; it makes you part of the group.
