Yorkshire SUMMER..
Proper WEATHER..
This is midday and it’s 12C..
We are most definitely missing the frightening heatwave hitting much of Europe.
So School is most definitely out, I guess it has been for a month now. But nothing official, just kinda happened. The fabled Parenting Handbook doesn’t really cover this, WHAT HAPPENS NOW. Like most things, I’ve ended up WINGING it. I supposed that School would be in touch. Providing guidance on what needs to be done with things like picking up books, passing on key records, returning school property, official last day when school is shot of the pupil, where to get career guidance, college help, exam results, who you need to contact if you have any queries about next steps, if problems are encountered. We just knew what day the last exam was happening. He just walked out the exam room and that was it. Well part from a Muppet Dad embarrassing him as he walked towards the car. Apparently it’s not COOL to stand precariously on the car roof and applaud while wearing a bowler hat which is at least four sizes too small.….
But we received nothing. I did email school to get Hawklad’s results emailed to him. The only other email we have received since his exams was a bizarre one about the School Prom. He had no idea the Prom was happening but a couple of hours before the Event, we received an email asking that if pupils attending the Leaving Prom were arriving in a TRACTOR, could the Tractors not drive over the School Lawns or Fields.
Glad that’s been cleared up then.
Thankfully Hawklad saw the funny side of things. “At least I don’t have to comb my hair… I’m hoping to go the whole summer without doing that “ So far so good in that one then….😂😂😂😂
A Dad trying to cope with the loss of his Partner and becoming a single parent. 
I love Hawklad’s attitude, but by the end of dummer he may have so many mats in his ha0ir
he will have to shave his head. I sure hope not.
But the way the school is treating Hawklad us tupical. Let him rot. He is no longer their responsibility. His name has been removed from their lists — all problems solved!

Eventful prom for those who traveled by tractor. I skipped my school prom. I was just so glad to have escaped….there was no way I was going to go back once I was free. I moved on from the moment my last exam had finished…so fast it left smoke trails.
