I have a number of questions about Mary Ellis.
1) Does one have to be couragous to be a virgin?
2) Can someone who dies at 119 really have a very promising hope?
3) If her parents are still of this parish how [...]
We went out last night, we wanted to go somewhere we could get to on the train. We got out and found lots of things, we wandered around for a while then went to a pub. When we had had a drink we went to find food – which we did successfully, though we did [...]
This year I have avoided showing the video that shows a circumcision on an eight day old baby. This is because I no longer wish to be frightened by the old man with very shakey hands. I always expect him to make a snip too far. Given my reaction to the clip I’m not suprised [...]

Three bears live here.
We have Big Bear who was given to me by a couple of girls in my form when I left my last school (they were a fantastic form and Big Bear reminds me of all of them, the only problem is he reminds of what a form can be rather than my [...]
It feels like at least 9. I need to get an early night and be all lively for my lessons tomorrow. That would scare them. Mind you at least the heavy marking load hasn’t kicked in yet. That gets really grim.
So far…
Classes generally quiet and well behaved (apart from one I taught today who were far too chatty), there are times when I ask them to chat more – as long as it’s about the work and then it’s quite difficult if they are being so quiet.
