Wellesley House

Quotes of the moment:
Plans to introduce a zoo's suspected homosexual penguins to a group of females has(sic) angered gay and lesbian groups. Bremerhaven Zoo in Germany denied it was "trying to break up same sex pairs by force". - The Daily Express.

So you're for gay marriage? I'll tell you why you're wrong. Gay marriage will lead to gay divorce, and that will be BITCHY! - Jimmy Carr, The Friday Night Project.

My dad has a job! Hurrah! It's at Wellesley House (as in Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington, defeater of Napolean) in Kent. North-East Kent, to be precise. A little bit out of the way, but it is apparently a 'proper' prep school like Felsted Prep used to be, back in the good old days of Mr Pomphrey. Except its more posh.

He's become a maths teacher, since the extra hassle of acting as technician as well as science teacher (and HoD responsible for all the PE teachers etc teaching a few lessons of science without knowing how) was why he left in the first place. Apparently being off the London commuter routes means we can have a bigger house too :D

On the downside, it's even further from Cardiff than we are now. Ditto Leeds and Birmingham, Vicky's two remaining medicine schools, since Nottingham and Southampton rejected her. But meh... Apparently the housemastership of the junior boarding house is also up for offer from September, and my parents (as a pair) are under consideration for that too! Which would mean they wouldn't need to buy a house there for a few years, which could mean that they might need to invest in one in Cardiff... Mwahahaha! :D

Schemes for world domination aside, my lazy bum of a dad has a job! Hurrah! Perhaps now he'll get on with all the work he was supposed to be doing on the house so that we can sell it and move before September!
