Weekend of fun and another week ahead

It was a great weekend with the FA Cup Final and the Eurovision Song Contest. Well done Crystal Palace and Austria, winners of the Eurovision song contest and FA Cup winners. It was a shame that Celine Dion didn't perform, but did watch the singing and some very erotic performances. YET Switzerland did put on a good show. What was your view of it? You can comment below. 


This week is the last week of school for another half term before the School Summer Holidays. We still have no place in a Secondary School and has been like a rollercoaster and not getting anywhere but hopefully it will all work out. Who knows? I never thought it would be so hard. My son goes to a special school because of his learning difficulties and many of the schools we went to see, were not suitable. 

Time just goes so fast and its like I am hanging on a piece of ribbon to keep up. I went to see my son train at Fulham Football club at their training ground. He does this on Saturdays mornings and it was so good to see. The coaches are brilliant. We went to end of seasons party at the rugby club he goes too. It was fun to celebrate the season and now need something else to do on Sunday Morning, whilst we wait for a the next rugby season, so been looking to see if we he can play tennis or cricket even now it is the summer.

It is good for kids to have a hobby. Something for themselves to socialise and using up their energy as Henry has so much and it is great form of exercise and being active, it's important. Or using their creativity with painting and drawing. Check out my Cheat Sheet I did this week of ideas of things to do during the Holidays https://everyonecanbuildacastle.com/2025/05/19/my-weekly-cheat-sheet-holidays-things-to-do/

My son is going to his holiday club, whilst I will be hopefully be able to read and write in one of the local parks and plan to go up to Wimbledon common to do some valuable walking. It is good for my son to do his own things, whilst I have time to myself too as he can see different faces. I have not done Parkrun for a few weeks. I really wanted to see Henry do his football training and it was so good to watch and perhaps start Parkrun again in the summer or in the Autumn and where I don't have other commitments as it is quite busy for me running up to the summer holidays. I will still be doing Race For Life in June up at the Epsom Downs. There's an issue with my fundraising page at the moment so going to see if I can sort this out. I want to raise £500. It is for Cancer Research.

I will be getting my newsletter completed for this month. This is posted every month on my site: Everyone can build a castle: https://everyonecanbuildacastle.com/2025/04/25/april-newsletter-2025/This is last months newsletter and they are free to download and print. 

I do radio show on Sundays, on Epsom Hospital radio on Sundays 4pm to 6pm and play songs from the 60's to the 2000's: https://www.epsomhospitalradio.org.uk/on-air/presenters/carrie-challoner

So going to get on with other jobs and will post again as we move into the week, but for now, I hope you have a great and I do a vlogging channel if you'd like to check it out and post my vlogs on my Youtube channel Every Wednesday and Friday:
