And when I say "Now".....

.....open your eyes......and I'll have turned into a retiring head-teacher.

Flying bedclothes and toast first thing as we all slept-in. Not a good a day for an over-run because it was head teacher's retrial mass at the Cathedral at 9.30am. Cardinal O'Brien led the the whole school in saying thanks to Ellen Leggate; our heedie for 12 years. Some really nice wee gestures from the kids throughout. Then to work for a few hours of capitalism before heading back to the school for a retiral reception in the hall. It was a good do and I was pleased that Nancy's cross-stitch present, which she'd worked on all week, went down especially well. Thanks to Macca who covered my shift in London to allow me to pay my respects today.

A night in front of the books awaits.
