Today a child in my class jabbed me in the eye by mistake.

There was no reprimand, no telling-off…it was utterly hilarious and we couldn’t stop laughing.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - I would be exactly the sort of teacher that most teachers dread.

"Don't go."

Never before have I wanted to grant a request so badly.

So soft a voice, such beautifully gentle and relentlessly sincere eyes.

This is less of a goodbye, more of a see you soon.

I promise.

Guess who’s on a train back to London to see her once more before she leaves these shores?

Sometimes one man’s insanity is another man’s opposite.

Sometimes one man's definition of crazy is another man's solution of sanity.

The moments that pass in the blink of an eye,
Are often the ones we crave most,
They’re the seconds that fleet but endure ‘til the grave,
While all else will but fade as a ghost.

And she lit up London like a bonfire in the pitch black.

Today was just incredible.

I could write a post but there is no way it would do justice.

I'm off to London for a Tumblr mini-meet with Michelle!

i’m excited okay; it’s not every day you get a wonderful person from 5,000+ miles away who, for a brief window of time happens to be located just 60 minutes from where you live.

I expect this to rank among my favourite days ever.

I get to meet my friend Michelle tomorrow.

Sitting on Tinychat alone makes me feel like a lemon.

EDIT - Anneliese came along! Yay! :D

Tinychatting for a few hours :)

Tinychatting for a few hours :):

Come say hello!

What do you mean I don't have an exciting life?

I’m currently racing the biggest raincloud I ever did see across town to see who reaches church first, me or it.

Everything to play for.

TENSE.

Perks of the job.

I have been asked at short notice to teach a Music and then a French lesson for a Year 5 class this afternoon.

Headteacher: You can teach the lesson on whatever you want.

*SOLD*

My favourite kind - an afternoon of French quizzes and being rockstars it is, then.

My class of children have had an important and decisive week of tests this week, so I have been sure to hold them up in prayer.

Today is their last exam, and the child I have been reading/scribing has done so well considering his natural ability and progress throughout the year.

It’s a wonderful feeling, knowing that God has given me the opportunity to sow into that boy’s life at such a crucial time.

Thankyou Lord for bringing out the best in him this week…now let’s BOSS this final day of tests - Amen!!

Coffee, sweaters and Minecraft today.

*while brushing the classroom floor, le child tries to loop-de-loop the brush around her finger and drops it*

Me: Oh dear; I don't think you would make a good cowboy.

Girl: I'm more of a gymnast.

Me: Ah of course, how silly of me - I forget that in life you are only either a cowboy or a gymnast.

Alanah is jealous of my enchanted diamond pickaxe.
