1st day at school and sudoku takes a back seat

Kelly's 1st day in grade 1 today. She has 2 teachers this year, both part-timers. I am not sure how it will all work but I spoke to one of them this afternoon and she reassured me a little. Looks like they may cross over on some Wednesdays. Both specialise in literacy, with one being a literacy recovery teacher. Hopefully they know a little about maths as well.
Kelly was happy to catch up with all her friends. First birthday invite for year received at 8.55!!! What a social life.
She was quite hyped up tonight. In bed reading to her by 7.15 but she didn't go to sleep until 8.30. And it was a big struggle this morning to get there on time as we have been staying up late and sleeping in, as you do, on holidays.
So if you know me, you will know that I like to do the odd puzzle or two. Actually last year I got Kelly into doing grown up jigsaws with me (800-1000 pieces) which was fun. Will restart doing those when we move in 5 and a bit weeks and counting...
But I digress, which is an unfortunate part of my nature, but oh where was I??? Oh yes, Sudoku has been a favourite puzzle of mine for quite a while and I have progressed from the easy up to the difficult. My sister gave me a puzzle book for my birthday and it had Kakuro in it...what the???!! (from Japan, described as the bigger and harder brother of Sudoku). It took me a while just to figure out what I was even meant to do but now I can say, um, unofficially, um, no officially, I am hooked. Only getting the easy ones out so far.
First day at work as expected but I came out alive so that is a positive :D
