I went tonight with a couple of friends to celebrate my birthday. I had the ribs because I am predictable and they are lovely. I am often thankful that they aren’t veggie – they might be put off by me eating meat off of bones if they were. It was good to catch up with [...]
This morning I saw a notice on the board saying a pupils dad died yesterday. I was due to teach him this morning, the lesson was on Christian responses to suffering. He was, surprisingly in my lesson, poor kid. Anyway I kept it as general as I could but I can’t imagine what it must [...]
My singing lesson went really well, which is great. It’s very satisfying to go away having got a few things right. We are still doing a bit of a Sound of Music fest at the moment, so it was ‘The hills are alive’ – can just see myself as Maria. Apparently they are auditioning for [...]
To the new school today, it was all a bit confusing but it was certainly good to see. The staff all seem friendly and welcoming, got a lot to take in though.
Off to a singing lesson in a bit.
Just been filling in lots of forms to take with me to my school tomorrow – quite amazing the sorts of things they want to know…

I parked up and ran in excitedly where we discussed how long it was [...]
I was chatting to a good friend a while ago, we were proceeding from random topic to random topic. He suddenly said “Spiders, there was a huge one in church the other day 2 or 3 inches big. There was only an old lady and I in church at the time.”
I laughed saying something like, [...]
My clock is telling me it is only 9.50pm but I am shattered, though I must say feeling very relaxed after a wonderful week. Not that I really want to make you all jealous, but I have had a lovely half term and even though I have to go back to work tomorrow am still [...]
Should I go and collect my cat from my parents tomorrow, or should I trust that my brother will look after her ok while they are on holiday. I have one brother who would definitely look after her well, and the other one probably will but is a bit more erratic. The first one [...]
