I never believe how tired I feel now when I reflect in the summer. A quick update

1.Work is exceptionally busy with a mixture of parent's evenings, revision sessions and meeting. There also seems to be a lack of realisation from management that the more other stuff that management schedule the lower the quality of lessons produced. If all my time is filled doing stuff then there is less time for lesson planning.

2 Novovirus or winter vomiting sickness has made it to Norwich. Sprowston was shut after an outbreak and while we have had a few isolated cases it appears to have no spread widely through the school yet.

3. The quality of the drama in the European cup rugby has been great although trying to play on a pitch that is underwater has meant that the quality has not been too good.

4. I rang up and asked them to send the next pack of contact lenses early and they decided to send them to an address that I have not lived at since 2001 rather than the address they have been routinely sending them to since them.

5. Last korfball match before the Christmas break today.

6. Little Dorrit was excellent and who would have thought that a financial institution such as Mr Merdle's bank would be a pyramid scheme and it collapse would ruin its investors being announced on the same day as one of the largest hedge funds collapsed owing $50 billion as it was also a pyramid scheme.
