hard day today
a little boy's grandad died; he was told last week and seemed to be bearing up...
but floods of tears this afternoon and I almost joined him...oddly enough it's my first 'bereaved' pupil...
I was at a loss really but told him that he would always be able to remember his grandad and think about the special times they had together and keep the memories safe in his mind and his heart. And I did pop out and tell mum he'd been upset, too.
One more day then we're into the last two weeks...and boy am I ready for a L-O-O-O-N-G break...although I have planning and prep to do; and we are going to do some flying in the classroom, I hope...Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily Dickinson

Evening everyone.
Not much flying done just the dailies as Ive been quite busy. Been at my vol job today. Its the nearest hospital if there are any casualties re the manhunt so they are prepared. Staff from that area remaining at the hospital if they cant get home. Just had a man to measure for new living room window and he said I had to keep my doors locked. Will prob get back on track flying tomorrow. Going to have a sandwich and cuppa then catch up with the thread.
