Oi !!!

Some of us try to make classroom-based stuff more exciting. Or I would be doing if I wasn't on strike today. I spend days/nights/weekends crafting creative learning materials, which must be decent-ish as I see colleagues using them for years afterwards once I've passed the modules onto new people. And students like what I do, not just in-class but comments I get years later.

Oh, and you lot buy the stuff my graduates market to you 😊

Mind you, it'd probably not beat driving a dumper truck round outside. But there's Diggerland for that

I must admit, watching the kids come out of school today, I thought back to how much I've enjoyed training courses in the past. I think the Business Analysis one was the best.

And now the sun's out and I can see a rainbow over the cranes.

Head to the end on your left, there lies the pot of gold!

Horrible dreich morning but I managed to get my walk in between the showers.

One of life's simple pleasures is putting on nice warm socks straight from the radiator

I don't know why you couldn't have kept the rain. Passing it on was most unfair.

Seems there's a few of us.



I had the weight to make a decent back, but I wasn't great & we didn't play that much. Athletics I was useless at. What a shame we never did cycling as a sport.

Yes. But in my case they were probably afraid they would not see us again.

I got through the entire school system refusing to do sport point blank. Never had the remotest interest in any sport to this day. Cycling has always been transport for me.

how did you manage that,we were not allowed to argue,1963-66.Our sports teachers were bullies and physcos.People still talk about them.

An update. Also had a go at nibbling the seatbelts. Front driver has to be replaced.
Now sprayed with anti marmot spray. Left over from an incident in Belgium. Suppose it might works for rats or mink or whatever.

Replacing the seat belt will be another matter.
Positive was I cycled there and back. Obliged to stop in the pub for lunch.
Some good came out of it all.

No rain, jolly cold and very windy.

Reading it like is to think Obi-wan was it writing, no?

 

[Gwylan]

Waiting for a phone call. It's late and I have stuff to put off.

We had corners where convention let you lurk to avoid a lesson. The 6th form library became a refuge when you survived long enough.

It was, lovely and peaceful, with sun making an appearance. It’s now raining again.

I literally just never showed up for sports lessons. Loved other subjects though.

 

[PeteXXX]

Well.. I survived 👍

I was excellent at being invisible.

Erranding done.

Now sat down with a and a chocolate biskit while watching Portugal v Ghana.

Oh, I had two slices of wholemeal toast for luncheon, one with ham & mustard, and the other with emmentaler cheese, plus a pear, an apple and a tangerine and two

The girls shared my ham and my cheese.
