    Morning All

    After an extremely busy week or so I'm back with you! The school inspection went really well, we don't have the grades yet but it was 'A very positive HMI' according to the HT. Thank goodness as we're all on our knees! Went for a few drinks with some colleagues after school, I was only staying for an hour but got home at 9 and went straight to bed. I don't drink very much at all but all that went out of the window yesterday and I am a little jaded this morning but not as bad as I thought I would be - such a lightweight!

    DS2 and DGF have gone away for the weekend and taken my car, not a problem as I'm having a relaxing weekend and trying to catch up on household chores that have been put on hold. Bedding in the wash and about ten thousand towels nearly ready to put on the line. It's dry and bright at the moment but must watch for raindrops around lunchtime.

    9 of us for Sunday lunch tomorrow so will do the shopping tomorrow (or this afternoon if I'm feeling up to it!).

    Glad you had a good holiday Ruby and well done to your DD.
    Enjoy Belfast Gers.
    Happy holidays Izzy and TA.

    Have a good weekend. Take care. XX
