Bye Nigel

Nigel went to the grave today, having been put out of his discomfort yesterday. He had been failing fro a while but deteriorated quickly on Sunday. He had some nasopharyngeal tumour I think as he has developed progressive right sided cranial nerve palsies, along with his persistent shrieking cry.

Nigel had been with us for the last nine years. A large tiger in his prime, he has certainly faded recently. He now joins Spud in the garden.

Joe’s last official day at school

Yesterday was officially Joseph’s last day at school. There was a special Mass, also to celebrate All Saint’s Day. There was the presentation of the ‘Leaver’s Tie”, speeches and beautiful singing. It was a lovely event and again reminded me of the important aspects of school life. A positive experience.
At the end, The Year 13s and the rest exchanged the Haka. So New Zealand.
