awol yesterday as not much pleasure - in shock at cost of car service/replacements. Also hadn't to eat or drink, other than water, for 14 hours prior to today's blood test. However...

...today has been much better
1. a cup of tea at 10am. It was pure nectar, and the second one just as good
2. Have just about got over the shock of the service cost, and come to the conclusion it's better to have a safe car to drive than with the faults it had yesterday. Garage man who ran me home/picked me up later told me it's a lovely car to drive, he's driven several bigger and more expensive cars and much prefers my model
3. DD and I had our Monday out today, shopped in a local market town where she bought a slinky red dress and I bought lunch
4. Back to DD's house where DGD2 had made pancakes. I was full from lunch so couldn't manage one but they looked and smelled delicious
5. A cheque in the post for doing surveys - why couldn't it have turned up before I went out so I could pay in into the bank today?! Never mind, it ensures we have to go shopping again next week
6. Hm soup while watching Holby to look forward to

Enjoy the evening with sweet dreams to follow

CCP

Evening all.

Sorry for the lack of posts over the past couple of days: my DM came to visit and we had a couple of lunches out (with vouchers, of course :money:), a trip to the historic dockyard (ditto :money: ), and a night at a concert, with no voucher but fantastic fun.

Pleasures for today:

1) Cuddly, playful Isis. She spent most of the weekend hiding in the wardrobe because she didn't like there being someone else in her flat, so it's great to be able to see all of her and not just a couple of sulky eyes!

2) Had my initial phone consultation with a counsellor, about my anxiety problems, and it was mostly very helpful, although she was in a busy office and I was standing by a window with a man from the council mowing the lawn on the other side, so there was a lot of "sorry, can you repeat that, please?" from both sides! :rotfl:

3) Received my mystery gift - my competition prize - and it's not make-up: it's a bottle of 'quick dry' potion for my hair. My hair is quite long, and very thick, and takes an age to dry, so I can now see why I entered the comp!

4) Had a minor panic this morning when my trusty kindle refused to switch on, with only a couple of chapters of my book left, but I rebooted it this evening and - fingers crossed - it seems fine now.

5) Lovely yellow stuff all day.

1. Remembered a pleasure from yesterday - one of the girls in my class gave everyone a little choccy bar to celebrate her birthday which had happened at the weekend


2. The promise of Phonics Kitty tomorrow was enough to make my boisterous boy in my group work really hard this morning. I think he'll get first cuddle with her!


3. I've found a lego animation of the Icarus myth to use with the class next week It's fab!




4. Feeling less stressed today, thank goodness!


5. I think my lessons for the rest of the week are planned, and are as good as I can make them......fingers crossed that my teacher will agree!

Good evening everyone :hello:

Been MIA as it's been manic once more. Just had parents' consultations too, so been talking to cherubs during the day and then their parents this evening! It's always the children whose parents support them who come to the parents' evenings and rarely those who don't support.

Anyway, over the past few days, I have enjoyed the following pleasures:

1) Cake club yesterday! :j :j Yum!

2) NSD today.

3) Arranging to see a friend run the Milton Keynes half marathon this weekend. She hasn't got anyone else to cheer her on and I feel responsible for her. I know she's a big girl now, and thoroughly independent, but can't help but feel that she needs a little bit of supporting every now and again!

4) Met up with old school friends on Saturday.

5) Visited the Georgians exhibition at the British Library, using my Art Card to get in half price!

6) My two teaching students are doing really well. Makes my life a whole lot easier at the moment!

7) Really need to sort out what I'm teaching tomorrow as my students are allowing me to teach my own class... So kind of them!!

By the end of their placement, my two students will be taking most of the lessons. Bliss.....

Kittikins

Yup, between us, we're teaching everything bar PE (yay!) and ICT:) Poor proper teachers though, you have to watch us and only butt in when we say real howlers, lol.


Final placement, I'll be on my own again and will be semi-NQTish, i.e. 80%. Hope it'll be with Y3s, they're cute as buttons! (Although I did get a Paddington Bear stare from yesterday's birthday girl as we're trying a new behaviour management technique with her to try and stop her talking over people all the time....eek!)

-and Raffles has found a friend! What generous sharing of warmy wireless!

Could tell more about R's wine bar and F&A....all in the name.
Not now.
Trying to remind self that 'we're only given so much as we can bear'.

1. The funeral, a fine farewell to a gent of 94, gifted achiever whose formal education ceased at 14. The Cross and candlesticks which stood sentinel were carved by him and gifted to Church long ago. Beautiful local oak as befitted a like heart. Grandson read his 1989 poem, simple and strong. Resemblance to grandpa, pictured in air force uniform in 1939, was astonishing - more than mere mirror reflection - and older people were nodding heads, smiling, commenting approvingly 'You can see he's a X'[family surname]

I'm just in from the Fitzwilliam and Sean Borodale and now have 'Bee Journal'. His poem 'Winter Honey' is a deep thing; they all are, so good. And he's another left-hander I saw. It's the first one he reads, a few mins in:

He won the TS Eliot prize this year, 2012.

There'll be 5 in there. Number your own. I think this is how Isis's mind works:-)

1. Fish and chips for lunch with a colleague - good chance for a chat really, as we have to walk to the shop to get them and walk back.
2. Compliment on my charity shop shoes from a friend.
3. Am wearing a large red jumper given to me by my emigrating allotment buddy. It's lovely and warm.
4. Phone call from DD.

Can't think of a 5th but that will do!
