The Painted Lady

A few weeks ago on the Juniorette’s last school day of the summer term she proudly presented me with her school report for her first year. It was a very good report, infact far better than any I ever received. She was a little disappointed that there are no grades for the first year (starts in the second year), and the only blemish on the report was about her temper, but it was mentioned that she is controlling it a lot better. Personally I didn’t see it as a problem. Her temper is slight compared to mine at her age.

She asked me about my reports when I was at school, so we dug through some files containing my old stuff, found them and had a read. It was quite entertaining. Apparently the main themes were lack of concentration, fooling around, not taking anything seriously and only doing enough to get by. Of course I had to inform the Juniorette that I was by far NOT a model student and I shouldn’t be used as a role model. But to balance the picture I told her she should always question authority (teachers), because they are not always right. I think this may be against the German way of things!

This summer has been fantastic with respect to the amount of butterflies visiting the garden. Identification has proved tricky at times, with photographic verification proving to be best. So above is a picture of the latest verification – The Painted Lady
