Apoa made it to the second exam stage for the last school she's trying for. At least one of her friends didn't, which is a right bloody bore.

Last night the kids pretended they'd heard that she'd got through, which is the kind of fate-tempting thing a grown-up would never do, so I'm glad she did make it. When she phoned to tell me, I got to pretend that I didn't believe her and thought she was just pulling my leg again. So now she's got one more exam, one music audition and one 'assessment', which is an exam for a school that's not selective but tries to take kids from all the ability ranges. Can't wait till she's done it all. But then I guess Kiloh's turn will come round before we know it.
