Mine sort of winces when I approach him with yet another puzzle. He's quite good at solving things which I'm hopeless at and vice versa. The hard part is managing to catch him when he's not snoring on the sofa!!

Mine will not admit to any interest in puzzles at all. He did have a look at the "Reading the signs" but I don't think he actually came up with any answers on that either. So I'm left here battling on my own.

I don't know, there are lots of books under my bed! I still haven't got round to do this puzzle yet though. The books under my bed are irrelevent (except the poetry book).

Finally done this puzzle. It took me a long time and I had a wrong word at one point.

I've just got baroquen and the surrealism crossword left. I've done quite a bit of baroquen but not much of the crossword!

I'm getting through the puzzles at a slow but steady pace. I haven't really had the chance to do much since half term, but I'm getting on with it slowly.

What? Have you been doing something good like concentrating on homework or something?
Truly impressive. It's such a shame they don't do GCSEs in puzzling, isn't it?

They never seem to set much homework!
No, it's just when I come in from a day at school I can't be bothered to exercise my brain again. I've mainly been working on puzzlebrains a bit later in the evening and at the weekends. In the half term I had nothing better to do than puzzles! At least the magazines are bimonthly so I get longer to complete the magazine! I hope to be done quite soon anyway!

I'll have to send a copy of this quote to your teachers; I'm sure they would be delighted to remedy this situation!!

One of my teachers actually said to us today that she thought homework was completely pointless,, so we asked her why she gave it to us. She said that the head says she has to!

Actually, I totally agree. I don't want to come home from work and do more work, and I don't see why young people should either. I can see the benefit of independent working, but surely they could build that into a school day if they thought about it enough?
I'm a firm believer of children and young people having time to do their own thing in their own time, playing, watching tv, doing sports or music or vegging out staring at a wall!! As long as it doesn't involve antisocial behaviour or crime, or getting to bed ludicrously late, then whatever floats your boat!

As you can see,
my children have grown up and gone to university, so I don't have to nag them to do their homework any more!! YIPPEE! However, I'm having great fun inciting
your children to stare at walls instead!

Ah good. I thought I was going to get told off for a moment then.
