Early to bed, early to rise suits me best in term-time. I took this picture around 6:30am this morning. Willow has taken to joining me so he can monitor my planning and preparation.
Happy birthday to my son Ted, who is 12 today.

They’re waiting for someone to open the curtains so they can enjoy the early morning sunshine.

Willow giving me a suspicious look over my laptop screen while I was doing a final check of my GCSE French speaking marks early this morning.

Willy-Wally-Woo!
We call him that when we feel silly.

Three happy sleepy kitties.

I was sewing this morning, so the ironing board made one of its rare outings. Willow (who is super-shy) just loves to sit on it, so I am pleased to bring you one of my occasional pictures of our hard-to-capture kitty-boy.

An old picture from the archives. Rather sad; Malteser and Cosmo (furthest from the camera) have both died. Nearer to us are Florence and Willow.

Willow stretching out this afternoon for a nap. He isn’t often allowed to sleep alone.

Sigh. A sad, difficult day. Not in a major tragic way, but in a dispiriting, disappointing way which has left me the poorer in my heart.
Poor quality pic of the 3 kitties asleep around 4am, just before I gave in to insomnia and went downstairs to work. Can you see Isobel’s pink ukulele?

This morning, after rising at 5:30am, I worked for an hour and a half, got ready and then set off for school. Over 5 hour-long lessons, I taught about 120 different children either French, German or Spanish. I coached a Y11 at lunchtime and at some point I have also done about 135 progress reviews, each with four items of data. After school, I prepared my classroom for tomorrow, then participated in Y11 Parents’ Evening, finally reaching home at 8:20pm.
The picture shows lovely shy Willow having a sniff to make sure he recognised me after I landed on the sofa with a hefty sigh.
