Glasses and Company

I'm sitting in my classroom with 11 minutes left of my 30 minute lunchbreak. I'm eating my very cosmopolitan pasta, pesto and olives out of my tupperware container looking at the mess around me... Carpet covered in polysterene bits, my desk piled with books to mark, xmas cards to write, poems to display.... It's 86 degrees outside, and only occaisionally a slight breeze floats through the room. My throat hurts and it looks like I'm about to come down with a nasty bug.

End of term on Friday, thank goodness. But before then we've got cards, decorations, reindeers and Christmas crackers to make, plus habitat models to finish, carol singing, xmas show, xmas fair, dinner tonight at Chayo's grandma's, kids party after school on Thursday and drinks out with colleagues, secret santa presents to buy, staff xmas lunch....

But the exciting news is that last night POLLY and ELLY arrived!! They'll be here till New Year and we're going to have a few days at a posh beach place which sounds great.

And yes... I now wear glasses... Strange new experience...
