You know you're getting old when you start to get invited to 40th birthdays all the time. Off to Leamington at the weekend for the next one, all the chances of us staying at the hotel do not look too promising. I've booked a room but the receptionist did not inspire confidence. Normal present, but will not be able to use that idea for much longer.

School is going well, I think. Some of the new lessons seem to be going well and tutor time is certainly more worthwhile than under the old system. I suppose that I should be doing something for my uni project rather than just sitting here but... About to run out of Y9 lessons so should start planning some more, most of the ones from last year seem crap and will need redoing. Y8 lessons have gone well so far and there are some very bright kids. Loads to do on Friday but should be able to crack on if I keep those free periods.

The house sale is going smoothly, fingers crossed. No news from the survery yet, the estate agent says they are going to chase them up on Friday.

Wednesday nights are pretty poor on TV. Emmerdale, obviously, which was really good last night - "Miss Bitch, to you" - apart from having to suffer Scott on the screen. Surely he will get his comeuppance, after all he did try and rape Zoe. Lost is on later, still no clue as to what is going on.
