Rainy and hardly any sleep but I am doing a bit better at sorting out things like the Edinburgh trip, and the hours for my new job (fingers crossed). Also I hope to change the date for the annual girls’ lunch, as it clashes with the Killers in Hyde Park.

The server was down at the weekend so I couldn’t get here and make lists. The server has been down for 3 days out of 4 I think, very poor. Hope you have all enjoyed the gorgeous weather! I got some work offered to me after the microteach I did last week, and the letter detailing it should be in the post.

I couldn’t get here yesterday because I had trouble with my Internet connection at home. This means I have all this week’s tutor notes and ticks to do. It is also a gorgeous day and I want to get out there and garden!! plant petunias (for Heaven’s sake, petunias!) and have lunch with husband, hopefully a good chat and get to know him better.

I failed to watch the ESC as it’s not popular in this house, but I did view Snowleopard’s tip, the Ukraine entry on YouTube. VERY interesting, and how did she fare? I was particularly impressed by her ability to do pole dancing, acrobatics, sing and fool around with three gladiators before playing the drums. A girl has to do a lot to be on the telly these days.
