    Lord I wish I could say I could remember some mad nights of absinthe... but I literally cannot remember anything after I have had some!

    All back to normal here. Last night I had a complicated dream that vanished from memory within the first few seconds of waking, just like they usually do... except that I do know it had something in it about washing my hair because I had a flash back to it when I was in the shower shortly after waking up.

    Today we have sunshine here. :)

    3) School holidays
    4) Lovely friend who was encouraging to me after church this morning
    5) All you supportive people who've been posting on my diary or thanking it. :wave:

    Yes thanks. Have been helping DS declutter his room. One large sack of rubbish and a huge pile of cardboard for recycling so far. :)

    Well, it took me ages to get round to doing it, and then ages to do, but I have finished. I promised myself I could come on here and catch up on everyone's diaries once I'd finished the coursework, so I've been doing that, despite the lateness of the hour. Just got to get my body clock back to where it ought to be in time for school on Tuesday. (Fortunately won't have to leave for church until 11ish tomorrow so no problem with that.)

    How's your marking, yorkbrood?

    Best wishes and lots of sympathy to any other teachers marking coursework this holidays. :wave:
