    Evening all

    No internet all day and a busy day anyhow. I went to my friend's funeral which was heart wrenching when her 11 year old son stood up and read a poem and then dissolved in grief. Rest of the day has been a mussy mix of parent interviews and governor training. Feel emotionally drained and wide awake at the same time.

    I have an early governor meeting tomorrow and a whole folder of info I should digest before then but right now my 9 year old needs a snuggle.

    Hoping for a better day tomorrow. Did clean all the downstairs windows and wash the cat bedding.

    Hugs all round xxx

    Dusty -it does give you a sense of perspective about what really matters. My heart goes out to her family. Glad I frittered the afternoon in the park with my boys rather than cleaning or working.

    Off to sort unifroms and fill the WM ready for when we get back.

    Evening

    Hugs for you Dusty and your friend's family, what a brave boy. He will remember that (and so will a lot of people) forever.

    Almost Monday already, I reckon it's going to be a long week at work but time will tell.
