I have a cunning plan

Some sleep – well dozing on the bed at least, then a little television in the back room with the door closed so it looks like I’m not in.
Happy Halloween



Plans for Tuesday evening

I hate being at home on halloween. I don’t like answering the door at all that evening though I will have to once as people are coming to collect me to go out for a meal.
I dread to think how old people must feel if I feel like this. Can’t we just ban it – [...]



Highlight of church

Small child comes back from Sunday School into the service and sits down next to his mum. Mum asks – as mums seem to have to – “What’s this about?” while looking at whatever the child has brought back with him.
Small child responds in a weary tone “God, everything’s God, God, God.”
Oh to be [...]



Distraction

Right now I should be writing intercessions for the morning. Instead I am surfing the internet and falling about with laughter at Little Red Boat getting her legs waxed for the first time (23 and 24 October if you’re interested).

I didn’t go to church today

But enjoyed singing along to ‘Songs of Praise’ tonight. I suspect this is another sign that I am getting old. Still a week off work, mustn’t grumble.

A Highlight of my day

Every so often a woman comes into work. We all notice her as soon as she is anywhere in our line of vision – even if some distance away. Today she was wearing a really, really bright green coloured suit. Her hair is dyed an orangey red colour and her make-up is designed to keep [...]



Wiblog entry for 15/10/2006

Today I have sung happy birthday to the same chap 3 times. Is this normal? I have also had a difficult amount of food – in as much as too much for another meal but not enough not to have another meal. That’s birthday parties for you.



Responsibilities

Apparently one of my pupils now has the responsibility of hovering. To be honest that must be really annoying.



Google searches

I seem to get quite a lot of searches about teaching (funnily enough), however today two have stood out-
-How to make orkney cheese
and
-Mary Ellis 119
The first puzzles me quite a lot. The searcher had gone through about 12 pages of results before getting to this snippet “No, whatever you do, don’t move to Orkney, it [...]
