Welcome to family, friends and visitors. Here you will find interesting (hopefully) pictures of my part of the world, news of our household and probably, long ramblings about anything that catches my interest.

A Lovely Surprise.

No rain at all today with a lovely sunny afternoon as a bonus. The photos below were taken on my journey home.
When I arrived home today after a long day at school including a staff meeting I was pleasantly surprised to find that not only had Peter mown all the grass but he'd hoovered the whole house, cleaned the bathroom & his study and swept the back patio. That left me free to sweep the front patio, tidy away my emergency dams and do a little weeding so now the the place is looking neat and tidy for tomorrow and Thursday's viewings. 
At school things were so much easier with teaching assistants working with my classes in the morning and the afternoon. However I was on my own with the Year 2 children in the morning reading them one of Roald Dahl's Revolting Rhymes when suddenly one of the children had a nosebleed. There then followed an impromptu lesson on 1- How to behave when something unusual happens, 2 - Why we have nosebleeds, 3-  How to treat a nosebleed and 4 - How to remove blood stains from a carpet. By which time all was sorted and was time for the children to go out to play. We have head bump slips in the medical room which we give to any child that has had a bump but I've taken to carrying some on my clipboard which came in handy today as I needed to hand out 5 during the day for all the various collisions that happened. Our kids seem to be terribly accident prone. I must remember to fill in the accident book tomorrow as I was just too busy today.
