The finals for Geek boy’s chess thing were held this week. After the debacle of actually arriving at the place of competition for the last round, master 11 was dead set that he would not, under any circumstances, miss the bus or be late. He was dressed and ready to leave at 5.30 AM.
Since designated driver (me) was teaching today, the sparky had the honours. He made it – to both the bus and the competitions. Phew!
There was no chess cake as a celebration. It didn’t matter. Last night he could choose anything he wanted for dinner. His choice? A double whopper meal from HJ’s and a place to hang this.
4th place in the QLD Interschools Team Chess Comps.
The look on his face was the best mother’s day gift I could receive.
Well done little man!
Congratulations to Roo, thats a fantastic result, he should be SO proud of himself. Well done for making the bus in time too ;0)

How fantastic. It’s so wonderful when they succeed!
Oh, I love these mom moments. Makes up for the ones that make you want to tear your hair out.
Fabulous!
Congratulation Geek Boy – that is amazing…
Good on ya, Geek boy! Chess is such a challenging quest…you did well!!
That is excellent!!! I have never won a chess game as the bloodlust gets to me too early.
Yahoo! A ribbon! I am impressed! I can’t play chess!
I must admit some disappointment that there wasn’t a hilarious story to accompany how he got to his chess game destination this time. I’m holding out hope for the next tournament.
Oh well done. That is so good. I know nothing about playing chess so always have a lot of respect for those who do!
Congrats indeed… I have been a bit distracted from my blogging of late – your quilts post inspires me to share a little on that note from Granite Glen sometime. Me? Not a quilter I’m afraid…
Cheers!
