I am just back from a fine few days with my auntie up north. There I was able to make a good inroad into my marking - all the books are now up to date, and I just have the Year 8 assessments to go! It was also a funny time for coincidences. I am reading "Mister Pip" at the moment, and three funny things happened while I was reading it. First, my auntie came to tell me that the weather girl was forecasting "rime" - neither of us knew what it was, but then I read about "a rimy morning" in Mister Pip, quoting Charles Dickens - a frosty morning. Then the next day auntie came to tell me that we would have lychees for pudding - just after I had finished a paragraph about the sweetness of lychees! Then, finally, this morning I overhead her telling her neighbour about her pineapple coring device that we had used the previous evening - at the precise moment I read the word "pineapple" in my book! So a strange few days! Great, anyway. We watched Brokeback Mountain. It was much better than I had expected. Very poignant, sad.
Anyway, also nice to be home. Now, must finish those Year 8 reports and write my essay that is due in on Monday ...
