Exam

Ailz was up at 5.00 and getting stuck into her poetry books.

Today is exam day.

Because she's disabled, Ailz gets to sit it at home. The invigilator arrived about fifteen minutes ago- a nice middle-aged lady, probably a former teacher, who apologised for taking two sugars in her coffee.

Before the exam began the invigilator searched the bathroom- to make sure we didn't have a copy of the Complete Works of John Keats hidden in the cistern.

And now the exam is underway and I'm skulking upstairs, trying to be mousey-quiet.

Good luck, Ailz.
