Hello people,
So its very hot here at the moment and I'm taking refuge inside. Also we're worried I may have actually broken my toe, cos a 6pack of cans fell out of the cupboard on to it today. Today is meant to be (or was it yesterday?) the hottest day of the year and we were doing a boot sale. There was no shade. I made a measly little £14, it all adds up in the end. Due to busy schedulage, we can't do another one til 31st July, so maybe I'll get a bit more £££ then?
Well recently I was in London a lot, the most significant of which was for Keswick Planning Day. Keswick is now a mere 6 days away (well I travel up to Ruth's on 16th!) so I need to get my skates on which planning what to take. Its always a fine balencing act for Keswick, cos it may well rain on one day, may well be sweltering the next and you may well sit in a wet patch in the tent neccessitating a change of shorts the third day, and so on... Pretty much if you take wellies, waterproof, vest tops and sandals you'll be fine!
I also need to take a wee trip to Mr Tesco's little emporium to get colouring books and make 7 cardboard crosses. Cool beans. Ruth and I will make cake to take with us to Keswick also, so that'll be yumtastic.
Last week also saw the last of the invigilation that I've done at Helenswood this summer. I had 31 Yr6 girls for a morning of CATs tests while there were at Helenswood for their taster days. I loved them, they were so cool (apart from the crying ones eeek!) and I had really good dealings with the teaching staff. One of them asked me if I *was* a teacher cos she reckoned I had a really nice manner and good way of explaining things! Cool!!! I was sad to leave them > I am sad.
What else? Oh yar... My room is almost all packed up in preparation for the redecoration spree to occur! There are a lot of boxes. Most of which are now living under my bed or causing a tripping hazard on the landing! I couldn't believe that I could a rather large box up with stuff, look around the room and not see any difference :-( Oh well, I'll press on.
Whilst all of this has been occuring, we have, of couse been watching the World Cup! Spain beat Germany, Holland beat Uruguay and now they'll play each other in the final tomorrow night. Should be exciting times.
Ummmm that's it I think, I may blog before Keswick, otherwise it'll be a post-Keswick blog when I next touch base! Have fun and stay safe in the sun! Adios.
