    1. I’m definitely back to base for the next two months with 10-11 year olds – a class I had for a year when they were about 7. So ‘old’ faces. 🙂 And pretty good to catch up on the gossip today. I couldn’t believe it when I popped out at lunchtime and met the hottest day we’ve had all summer. Pretty typical, from past experience, but aggravating still.
      I hope your son enjoys wherever he’s placed. I find it something of an adventure to be in different places, it’s a real eye opener and great experience. I’m sure he’ll get to enjoy it although it’s not everyone’s cuppa.

    1. Naw, ye bloody shouldnae! I should have had money on it, Richard. It was pretty much a certainty. Least I got home in time to rush into the garden. Still sitting on my toosh in the sun. Relative bliss, I’d call it. 🙂

      2. Thought you were talking about hair for a minute when this comment popped up. Very nearly recommended a product!
        I take no consolation in other folks’ similar misfortunes but, must admit, I do get a bit pissed when parts of UK light up like a beacon on the weather map while ours registers distress. They should really use wee smiley/sad faces on those things instead of suns and clouds. Maybe our sunny day will head your way by tomorrow. As long as it doesn’t do a total runner from here.

    1. First week almost over, Ms V. That’s always a killer. Especially as the sun has shone every day since our return! But hanging on in with a workload that’s keeping me from blogsville. :/
