Hello all. I know that many of you have been waiting with baited breath for my next blog update ( well all two of you who read it anyway) so here it is.

Not much to say really.

Tomorrow is the last day of term before the Easter hols which seems incredible. I don't actually get the two weeks off but I do have the Easter long weekend to myself. James is working however so it won't be that much fun. Consequently I have volunteered to dress up as an Easter bunny and hand out eggs to overweight Swansean youngtsers in the town centre. If any of you pass that info along to ANY of my students I'll write you out of my will. Personally I think more chocolate is the last thing they need; carrots would be better but I suppose most of them wouldn't recognise them. I saw a mother feeding a bag of Maltesers to a child in a pram the other day. He wasn't old enough to hold the bag himselfand it was on my way to work at 8:15 in the morning. I just don't understand modern parents. We caught a Year 10 boy on the playing field doing a little dance with his penis out last week in front of a whole gaggle of Year 7 girls and his mother thought it was hilarious and didn't understand why the school was upset about it?! If he had been a year older, he could have been put on the Sex Offenders list. Aileen and I didn't think it so funny, especially when she had to say the word penis to the deputy headmaster and describe his little dance. AHHHHHH. Deep breath Naomi.

Today I'm going on a field trip to Carmarthen Showground for the second part of a military activity that a group of year tens went on a couple of weeks ago. THey did really well and came thrid out of twelve schools so today they are off to the regional final. It's just a bit of fun really but they had a blast!!! Mr Lodwig, the teacher who is going on it, taught in Italy and Portugal at IB schools so it's quite interesting talking with him.

James has done his mock test for his driving exam which is booked for the start of May. HE did reasonably well with only a few minors but as you're only allowed six minors he has stuff to work on. I hope he passes this time. If he does he'll be looking to do his final test this summer (hopefully before our MOT is due as I doubt Milly will pass!! my door and the trunk no longer open and she is being consumed by rust in some unfortunate places!!) He is still at Boots andfrustrated. THey've just started talking about Christmas....

Anyway, that's enough for now.

I'll keep an eye out for any cars for sale at school.

Hello Naomi...hurrah, your back in blogland. I agree with Serendipity, would be great to read about your Roman adventure.

Got a kick out of reading that you will be the Swansea Easter Bunny. Hope there will be photos. My first paid job was as a department store Easter Bunny. I remember that some kids, even in those days, can be rude. But I guess you know all about that from school.

Like James, Mike is working over Easter. We're planning an Easter Sunday picnic around 4:30 pm but the weather isn't as warm as forecasted so maybe we'll picnic indoors.

You escorted a field trip for the second part of a military activity? My goodness... And the kids "had a blast!!!"? Gee, sounds like a wild time.

Greetings to James...will be checking back to read more updates...Happy Spring...love, mj
