Wednesday

Apologies for the silence yesterday.  I was tired and rushed.

Like yesterday morning, it is cold and frosty today.  When I looked at last year's planning I remember that next Monday we had an inter-schools conference and it snowed hard all day.  I doubt there's much chance of that this year, even if the nights have turned cold.

We plough on.  Today is a monitoring day for me - well, from playtime onward anyway.  I have to observe a lesson and do a work and planning scrutiny.  So exciting!!!!!  Then, after school, it is staff meeting and we have been given time to write the reports for Consultation Evenings which are next week.  It's not enough, of course, but it's better than before so no complaints and many thanks (genuine thanks, not sarcastic ones).

It'a been embarrassing in school.  The change of hair style has caused a bit of a sensation and there have been a lot of comments - all nice, I hasten to add.  The look on my littlies faces when they came in on Monday was a picture but the long line of parents staring in through the window was not so funny.  The sensation has died down now, thank goodness, so maybe we can get on with life.  I don't like being the centle of attention, can't cope with it at all.

One disadvantage of having short hair rather than the long mane tied back in a pony tail is that it's going to need washing more often, because it gets combed and brushed more often.  So I'd better get going as it's still taking me quite a time to dry and style it - it doesn't fall straight without a lot of help!!!
