....I will carry my torch.....

Is it? No, it couldn't be! Surely not!

The Olympic flame arrived in the UK today...the 70 day countdown begins.

The Boss is all excited....she thinks it's going to be a wonderful Summer with the Queen's Jubilee and the Games...me I can take or leave the Royal shennanigans...but I'll be tuned into to the Euro football and the Games. I'm regretting not volunteering or applying for tickets...I remember the buzz in Manchester for the 2002 Commonwealth Games.

In other news today......our year 11's are only four days away from leaving us...and they are slowly whittling themselves down by acts of stupidity....four more fired off for an early bath between yesterday afternoon and lunch time today.

I went for a drink with hebs after work...and without thinking I called her sweetie...she gave me a bit of a peculiar look!

Jo was lively today and cuddled me....some of the kids looked shocked...so Jo explained we were really good mates...a few minutes later I overheard one of them tell a friend we were "mates with benefits"! I didn't like to disillusion them....well, when you get to my age any ego boost is welcome.

Lisa told me about a pupil who was, in her words, "shit scared" of me....so I haven't lost my touch, then!

Wonder what the weekend will bring?

Das vidanya moy padruga.
