    I hope it does! SHS, I was going to post another cat blog today, but got diverted after a phone call from my (teacher) sister. Yet another knock upside the head for me about how awful teachers have it these days, and how very fortunate I am to have the time that I have, even though I'm not quite there health-wise. Hope you've got time to breathe.

    Thanks KC.

    I hope your sister is ok?

    There is a reason the government is advertising so hard for trainees.

    She is, thank you, didn't mean to concern you. It's her last term before she retires, and they insist on starting a new maths scheme, so she's been spending an hour planning each maths lesson :( as the school won't buy any books relating to the new scheme. She's bought one herself, and will use it as necessary for the rest of the term.

    I like that raptitude one on procrastination: "You finish a thing by starting it until it’s done. " Excellent :T Starting is a problem for me, but so is finishing :rotfl:

    Thanks for reading, guys!

    Did you finish your latest Cat post, KC?

    I feel some of your sister's pain. I am teaching A level for the first time in over a decade and it is taking as long to plan it as to deliver it.

    I wouldn't trade them though!

    We are going to meet Elephant and one of her ponies tomorrow. Very exciting!
