Monday is here again, which means back to work for most of us.

Has it rained yet where you are? What’s happening this week?

    Busy, busy week ahead. The eldest is going to high school this year, so we have a parents assembly tonight and he has three full taster days, so the routine of the week has been thrown into chaos.

        TIL it’s High School in Scotland and not in [edit: some parts of] England!

        I’ve always known it as secondary school

        So I ended up down a bit of a rabbit hole… Strangely the council here in Edinburgh refer to the schools as “secondary schools”, but the official names of all the schools is “… High School”. Go figure. My school in Fife’s official name ended in “High School” too.

        My friends.

        Maybe this is our chance to get rid of the tiresome Reddit trope of trying to catch people out in so-called “Americanisms” (that usually just ended up being different British dialects anyway).

        Maybe this is our chance to be better.
