Tuesday

The Flooger and I went out in the early morning sun - the sun which comes before most people are awake, and often is gone behind cloud by the time they're eating breakfast - and we listened to the birds. Someone nearby has chickens - the sound of the cockerel crowing was a bitter-sweet jolt back to my early childhood - and there were numerous other birds singing, although I'm too ignorant to identify them. Whilst the Flooger snoozed in the long grass - a delightful drop of dew enhancing the Floogerous nose - I stood and exercised my knees, bending them deeply and holding as long as I could. If I am diligent, my knees may eventually be stronger than they were before my latest accident...

And now, to work.

The happiest days of your life...

I'm going back to primary school today! This is the first half-day of my primary school experience segment of my secondary school teacher training. I'm to look at differences in the environment, and consider issues of continuity and progression. And I'm going to be remembering the great times I had in primary schools when I was a student :-)

Also, it's a lovely morning for a cycle ride!
