There is a big round yellow thing in the sky.

What could it be?

Guess who had a half day today because the area directly around the 
school got flooded?

Isn't that rather disruptive to the children's education? I hope you
intend to have the children in for an extra half day later on to make up
for it.

Gosh!  Floods in Wales were at the top of the six o'clock news on the
beeb, so it must be bad!  You say "around the school", so I'm hoping
there is no damage - saw film of some people bailing out filthy water
from their homes :-(

As long as I don't have to go in too. After all, I worked through it.

There is tons of damage to the surrounding houses, but the school, being 
up a hillock esaped. We just sat like a little island in a basin of 
water.

Wouldn't the kids have been safer in the school then?

A story I used to like writing and giving was about kids having to
stay at school cos of an emergency. How would they cope etc?

No amount of planning will ever replace dumb luck.

As it was, they had to wade through over a foot of water to get out (or 
in) and staff with low slung sporty cars have had to leave them stranded 
and beg a lift of those of us with sensible vehicles.

It stopped raining for a while - it's started again now. Pretty soon the 
school could be flooded too - almost a pity it's the weekend!

It has appeared here today.

It looks vaguely familiar but I can't remember what it's called.

The only things that have mysteriously appeared around here are whacking 
great big holes in the road!

Don't cycle down them will you?

How did your elbow hold up at school?
Did you get lots of sympathy/knocks?

There are four basic food groups: 
milk chocolate, dark chocolate, white chocolate and chocolate truffles.

Lots of both the first day, unfortunately. I think the swimming pool 
water is helping the healing process as it's coming along quite nicely 
now. It's only sore if it gets a knock whilst it's still wet. Once I've 
been out of the water a while and the scab has dried, it is no more 
painful than a normal knock to an uninjured eblow.

In fact, here's a cheerful little thought which made some of the staff 
in my other real-life staffroom shudder when I shared it with them...


half the scab must have fallen off when I was swimming at an early 
session one morning this week. It was all there when I got up and went 
to the pool, and by the time I was showering after swimming it was half 
missing. :)

I suggested we all go to the pool after school and play 'hunt the scab' 
in the water.

I might have to.
I went to the garden centre to get a plant - and it rained on the way
home.
I'll have to wait until tomoz now.
I finished tidying up the garage instead.
