    Sounds great! You'll pick up the subject in no time - I've picked up about three subjects and also now teach fishing - the kids know more than me but I enjoy learning!!

    You teach FISHING Earthie?!

    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!
