I shall go to the ball...

The ball is on Saturday so I thought I had better go shopping for a dress after work today. I found a dress eventually and then on the way back to the car I was drawn into a shoe shop and ended up buying these. I am now broke.

On the way home I had called on Jude with her birthday present, I didn't want to stop so it was a quick belated happy birthday then back to the car. As I went to get in.....I was gritted!!!!! A gritter raced by and gritted me, I was pebble dashed from head to toe.

I did take a pic at school which I had planned to use as my blip today, it was of boxes all piled up in the staffroom. Not very exciting, I know, but it was to depict the craziness that happened at lunchtime. One of the parents has a stationery business and they were throwing out old stock so it was given to school. There was card, paper and envelopes .....all sorts and all colours. It was like a gathering of vultures as the staff descended to root through, with 'ooohs' and 'ahhs' and 'oh wow look at this', followed by 'which box was that in, I want some'.

During the afternoon I balanced the boxes artistically, but precariously, to take a photo. I was kneeling on the floor taking my photo when a child came in. He looked at the boxes. He looked at me. He smiled. Then he left. I knelt there feeling a fool yet inwardly guffawing. They think I'm barking.........they are probably right.
