It’s Friday. Which means just one thing: cakey bakey. Every now and then you get a pair of creative bakers who can even manage a theme… 

 

We had Pimms Sponge Cake and Strawberries and Cream Eton Cake.

Nice.

Halfway.

After a trip to London for an English conference it was straight back for the Y11 prom. 

Two of my lovely tutees…good luck boys…. 

 

My phone was broken; it wouldn’t charge. The solution: a cocktail stick. 

After doing a bit of poking around in the charging socket, removing all the fluff and doing a lot of blowing. It was sorted. 

Day 30. The last, and hottest, day of Juneathon. A 3-miler on the trails in the 5 o’clock sunshine. It was hot. Very hot. Did I suffer? Yes I suffered. Today was all about the blue and the green.

 It’s not been the greatest Juneathon – dodgy calf – but I have managed something every day, which is actually what Juneathon is about. So, I guess I can say it was a success. 

However, I will be the first to admit the blog posts – despite posting one every day – have been pretty poor. For a couple of reasons:

Firstly, because I’ve not been doing the mileage I would normally do, the runs have not been that interesting. 

Secondly, I seem to be so busy at school that I’ve struggled to find the time and inclination to make them amazing. 

So I think it’s probably best to just forget about the whole Juneathon thing and look ahead to Janathon! 

Cushty.

After school today we had a staff rounders match. It had been arranged so that we could say our goodbyes to our business-finance-bursar-timetable-manager-thingy-person. She will be sadly missed… 

 

The rounders match was very exciting. Rounders were being scored in every direction, partly because there was a distinct lack of throwing and catching ability.

However, the match was eventually abandoned due to health and safety issues. A spot of rain led to slippery bats, which in turn led to a nasty ‘bat flying through the air’ incident causing injury.
