Spring Break


To my neighbours in Blogsville,

You may have noticed that I have been a little silent recently. School and life have been hectic. Normally I would have written posts on the recent public attack on teachers for being lazy. But I haven't been able to find the time or the head space. And I do feel as if I am somehow 'letting the side down' in Blogsville.

My current 'busier than usual situation' will continue for a couple of months. And so, it is with regret that I say that Snuffy is going to hibernate for that time.

Snuffy isn't dead. She is merely sleeping. So pop in from time to time, to take a look. Maybe Snuffy will leave the occasional post in her absence. Certainly she will return to normal in due course.

In the meantime, I wish you all a very happy Spring. (I do hope Spring will come.) And I look forward to chatting with you all when the weather is warmer.

With my very best wishes,

Snuffy x

A gift from God

I hadn't marked my Year 8 books.
Twas the night before Monday and all through the house,
not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
It was late and I was tired and the poor books cried out,
'Mark us! Mark us!'
'What kind of example are you!?' they shout.
I bowed my head and admitted defeat
And instead dragged myself to bed to sleep.

Lo and behold, in the morning, what do I see?
SNOW! GLEE! GLEE! GLEE!

And so it should come to pass that never would it matter
That the Year 8 books weren't done.
And while I feel as if we're skiving,
For once in my life, I'm having so much fun!

Happy snowman-building everyone!
