He's almost done!

By the time most of you read this, Peter will be officially finished his course at ETPS! His final presentation is today at 11 am. It is supposed to be a half hour long, and then there is a half hour question period, so by 12 Peter & his two teammates will be celebrating in the mess to be sure! In attendance at his presentation will be all of the ETPS tutors, a representative from both the Canadian High Commission in London and from Epner in France where they conducted their testing on the Mirage. These guys have all been through ETPS and they know their stuff inside out ... so the intention is to impress and ensure that they are able to present their information well and be able to answer any question that comes their way. They have to present 67 slides in 30 minutes!! And there are another 100 or so slides with information/answers to possible questions that could come up. The amount of work they have put in to this is just mind boggling to me, and I am very proud of him : )

I took a photo of him this morning as he was leaving ... all dressed up in his dress uniform.


Last week he and his teammates worked for more than 24 hours straight to complete their 300 page report ... this is what he looked like when he got home at 10:30 on Monday morning. He was exhausted, his eyes were bloodshot, and frankly, he was a little stinky ... but he was smiling! That report was the most extensive of all the projects he's worked on while at ETPS, and when it was completed a huge weight came off!


We'll keep you posted on how the presentation went. I can't wait to have my normal husband back once all this work is done, rather than distracted, too busy for everything workaholic Peter! I can tell you who will be doing the dishes for a few days - I am so sick of washing dishes (I am spoiled and very used to having a dishwasher) ... normally he helps me with the dishes, but has just been too busy for anything but work, work, work. What a nice change it will be for both of us after today ; )

Team PM & tadpole

p.s. 6 days until our ultrasound!
