Same thing here Dave, mothers are moaning and groaning about parking, rude drivers while taking their little snowflakes to school or picking them up after school. Yep, let them walk to school.
A friend suggested I should join her with some ballet lessons. So out of interest I dug out my old bodice and tutu, and put it on (couldn't find my ballet shoes though).
Looked in the mirror and thought no way, jose, to that idea!
I'm thinking this warm day would be a good time to turn off my pellet stove to let it cool down for a good cleaning. I'm quite sure the winter is not over.

Drives me nuts! If you drive by a school, there are cars double parked everywhere, and it's quite dangerous. Kids running around, and into the road. There should be yellow school buses like in America, where the kids are supervised. We don't have anything like that here.
I know roads are more dangerous than they used to be, and parents worry about their kids crossing at the correct place and whatnot. But, they have to learn, and they'll never learn being carried about from place to place.
When I was 11 years old, I had a one hour walk to school. I didn't want to go to the nearby school as we had moved home a year earlier, and I wanted to go to the same senior school as my old friends. So, my dad said ok, but I'd have to walk there. So I did, in rain and snow. Crossing many busy roads on the way.
We weren't mollycoddled in those days. We grew up quicker back then because we had more responsibility for ourselves. Kids today never grow up. They're not grown up even when they are legal adults!
