Yesterday was our daughter Helen’s birthday and it is mine today. I was invited around to Helen and James’ house for dinner and an exchange of presents. Helen turned 43 and I have been around for 73 years. Helen’s Birthday Party is on the weekend. Today I am having a few friends around for food, drinks and a few laughs.
On Tuesday, Helen went for an early morning interview for a teaching position at a nearby primary school. The school is in a good area and has a good reputation with many innovative projects. At the interview, she was told there were 188 applicants for the position, but only a small group getting to the interview stage. She felt it went well, but knows that there are other factors in employment, such as the fact that there may already be a ‘chosen one’ and the interview process may well be merely a matter of form. I hope she is successful.
Some more pics of Helen at various stages of the 43 years.

When Helen was about 8 years of age she thought that we were going to replace her with a new daughter. She left us this note and hid in the back yard.
