Today was all about finishing a bit of marking ready for the new term on Monday.
My fabulous Y11s have been doing some iconoclastic writing. They produced some pretty controversial pieces: white bias, immigration, euthanasia, religion and the sexualisation of women, just to mention a few.
They’ll have plenty to ponder on Monday…
It was raining this morning. The perfect morning to hit the trails at Bourne Woods. It was muddy.
Out for dinner. Terry cooked the main; we supplied the pudding…
Late night duty – using the coffee making facilities.
Did some decorating; going for the 1970s meets the 21st Century.
The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
In other words I created Christmas Sloe Gin and the allotment produced some spuds. And Phil saw that it was good.
It is exactly two months until Christmas; time to prepare the sloe gin.
This morning it was all about foraging for sloes….
It’s been a busy day today, so plenty of opportunity to get a good photo of the day.
First up, the inaugural Rutland Parkrun. Made a pleasant change from Peterborough, simple out and back course, with the added danger of sheep and sheep poo. Forgot to take a picture.
Parkrun is ALWAYS followed by breakfast: bacon and egg sandwiches. Forgot to take picture.
After being let down by Homebase in our attempt to pick-up some funky wallpaper, we were forced to scour every wallpaper shop in the universe. Forgot to take picture.
During our travels we found ourselves eating scones, complete with clotted cream and jam. Forgot to take picture.
So, what is picture of the day I hear you ask?
The most important part of decorating is in the preparation. So here are some bare walls in need of preparation….
Today I attended my first ever spin class.
It was brutal.
This is my nemesis…
