    Rushed DD2 to doc this am. Really worried about her but she seems to have rallied a bit. Feel guilty missing work though they will dock my pay.

    I saw a buzzard this morning carrying a Squirrel. Birds of prey are thriving round here.

    I thought you were allowed so many days for care of dependants? I don't think you should have pay taken...

    I teach all sorts as I find it makes the week interesting!
