Life in north east England (yes, we've moved!) with an eccentric Welshman and a small white dog that thinks he's a Rottweiler.
New laptop
Yesterday I had a surprise present from Keith - a brand new laptop! 100gb serial ATA hard drive, dual core Intel processor, 1gb DDR dual channel RAM, wireless LAN, card reader, DVD Rewriter AND a hard screen!
He wanted my old one to give to Giles so that he could have Giles's which has as COM port, which he needs for...
oh who cares? I got me a new laptop! That's all that matters! :)

Right hand turn
On Thursday afternoon the two Infant classes are taken for dance by a visiting teacher. Today, the teaching assistant and I were watching them running round in a circle and she commented on the fact that she had noticed that children always tend to run anti-clockwise if not directed otherwise. This led to my wondering aloud if this phenomenon is similar to that of water going down a plug-hole. Perhaps in Australia, children run clockwise.
So, I'm asking Michelle and any other readers of this blog who hail from the southern hemisphere, if they could do a little observation for me and let me know whether my theory is right.
Then I can write a thesis on it and get world-wide acclaim...
Oh, all-right, perhaps not, but it would be interesting to know!

Mega minibeasts
On Wednesday we had a visit from Zoolabs, which is an organistation that visits schools with large-sized exotic minibeasts. So we had a visit from a large stick insect, an African land snail, a hissing cockroach, a large millipede, a corn snake among other creatures. Oh and there was a Chilean Rose Tarantula, but I was almost out of the room for that one and was grateful for the fact that it stayed locked away in its tank.
I was quite happy to hold the millipede and the corn snake, though.
