Had a lovely evening out last night meeting up with a Dutch friend and one of her colleagues. We went to Chutney's on Brick Lane, our "local" Brick Lane restaurant, but it was a bit weird. We waited ages to order, then the man insisted on bringing us poppadoms before he took our order, then left these with us without taking the order at all! Someone else did take the order, and the food was really good, as always, but I had to ask four or five times (possible more!) for a second mango lassi, which eventually arrived after the hot food it had meant to cool finished! H decided the waiters were probably overworked and very tired by the time they were serving us. Anyway, the company was great, and we chatted until midnight. It's always good to get someone else's perspective on education as well. Our friend has encouraged me to try a Michelle Pfeiffer on some of our more difficult students. I will try!
Have planned a couple of assessments, but no further on the essay or Year 8 marking and reports. Must get the essay done now.
