This week, contrary to all expectations for the first week of a new term, I have had a full 5 days of supply in a lovely school in Cheshire. The class? 24 Reception children - well behaved, intelligent, motivated - a class to die for! And there's a possibility of a couple more days next week.
So that's the reason for my silence - preparation and exhaustion.
Well, a bit tired by the end of the day, anyway. But there'll be some money in the bank for April, which is nice.
Latest update
On Sunday Keith took advantage of my absence on my course to remodel his thigh length plaster into a knee length plaster. Yes, he has cut the top part off so that he can bend his knee.
On Thursday he has to go back to the hospital to face the music!

Busy again
Busy with school preparation at the moment, so here is a little offering from TK to keep you going.
A man was blissfully driving along the highway, when he saw the EasterBunny hopping across the middle of the road. He swerved to avoid hitting the Bunny, but unfortunately therabbit jumped in front of his car and was hit. The basket of eggs went flying all over the place. Candy, too. The driver, being a sensitive man as well as an animal lover, pulledover to the side of the road, and got out to see what had become of the Bunny carrying the basket. Much to hisdismay, the colorful Bunny was dead. The driver felt guilty and began to cry. A woman driving down the same highway saw the man crying on the side ofthe road and pulled over. She stepped out of her car and asked the man what was wrong. "I feel terrible," he explained, "I accidentally hit the Easter Bunnyand killed it. There may not be an Easter because of me. What should I do?" The woman told the man not to worry. She knew exactly what to do. She went to her car trunk, and pulled out a spray can. She walked overto the limp, dead Bunny, and sprayed the entire contents of the can onto the little furry animal. Miraculously the Easter Bunny came to back life, jumped up, picked upthe spilled eggs and candy, waved its paw at the two humans and hopped on down the road. 50 yards away theEaster Bunny stopped, turned around, waved and hopped on down the road another 50 yards, turned, waved, hopped another 50yards and waved again! The man was astonished. He said to the woman, "What in heaven's name is in your spray can? Whatwas it that you sprayed on the Easter Bunny?" The woman turned the can around so that the man could read the label. It said: "Hair spray. Restores life to dead hair. Adds permanent wave."
