Can’t think of a title.
I worked all day today. It was a good day if slightly chaotic by virtue of so many new staff and relief staff working at the moment. I have a feeling the supervisor of Lancing library is job hunting which would be a shame both because I get on very well with her and because I think she does a great job of running the library. I had my afternoon teabreak with a relief worker who is a teacher. She teaches secondary school drama and is Very Enthusiastic and Dramatic with lots of over pronounciation. She asked what I did when not at the library and I said I HE’d my two children. She thought that was ‘Fantastic!’ but that she couldn’t do it. I utterly fail to see how someone who copes with classrooms full of 30 odd teenagers would struggle to answer the questions posed by their own flesh and blood children of infant school age but that ‘Oh I couldn’t do it’ response to HE is something that increasingly puzzles me as D and S get older. I can see how the notion of not packing children off to school when they finally reach 5 is madness when you have a house full of preschool age toddlers but personally having waded through the treaclesque days of Cbeebies I sort of feel this lull before tweenage times is my just reward :lol:.
I had a good haul at the charity shops in my lunch break and got 2 pairs of trousers, a top, a skirt and two sarongs for about £15. The sarongs were inspired by a gorgeous multi layered skirt that Julie was wearing yesterday and I was coveting. She said she’d paid about £25 for it which made me wonder if it couldn’t just be constructed from scarves (it was a sort of twice wraparound style with different panels of floaty material at different lengths). The sarongs were a quid each and the two wrapped at different lengths are creating much the same effect and D and S both admired it so it must be ok :).
At home Ady was around this morning and he and the children did bedroom tidying and set up radios in both the childrens’ bedrooms so they can listen to classic fm at bedtime (at their request). It seemed to work well and they were both asleep well before 10pm tonight :). Dad was here this afternoon and all seemed calm and happy :).
It’s been exceptionally windy here today and I am listening to things blowing around the garden now. I am very glad the temperature has dropped a little and I feel a little less wilted and pathetic than I did last week.
