Four days back and finally our laptops are available, for some reason, heads of depts have all got new ones that go faster which seeing as we have more free time than others seems a bit stupid. However, I'm not one to complain (much) and its a lot ligher than the last one and holds its charge for longer than 10 minutes. Of course, school being school (sorry college), there are lots of things that don't work. I'm not doing too much on it tonight because God knows whether I'll be able to access the stuff at school (college) tomorrow.

Challenge Lawro still not working - the only good thing is that it would be a bit disappointing filling in a result for the lads on Saturday seeing as they are away to Chelsea. There is always hope, there was the year when we beat them and went to see Kylie at the Hammersmith Apollo.

Y8s seem really good and there seem to be some very bright kids guessing by some of the answers they came out with when looking at pictures from the renaissance. Y9 is another story and there are a couple of kids who are going to be real trouble. R had big problems with 2 of V's old form plus the ADHD kid. (Is that anonymous enough or do I need to give people aliases).

Duty day today and even though I hadn't been put on the list I still went out and did my stint (ever the hero). It's been sunny all week and then the first day it rains its bus duty! It seems that nobody has bothered to tell the school bus that out finishing time has been put back by 10 mins - the bus was leaving just as I got down there.

Colin was back Tuesday and Wednesday for a conference at Magna, so it's been like old times this week. Over to Chester tomorrow to go to the races (my second hen-do) and I hope that I have much more luck than the last couple of times. Apart from that Darren Williams mistake bet I don't think I've ever won at Chester.
