Movie Night

Thursday is the new Friday. This week in any event. With Mr B heading off tomorrow for a skiing weekend, we decided on a family movie night tonight and all settled down with a feast (nachos, guacamole, salsa, potato wedges, fried chicken strips, pizzas, etc) to watch the Silver Surfer movie.

Earlier, teaching went well, despite the CP (6-7) class being the naughtiest they have ever been. Gros mots were used (not by me I hasten to add). The older class were a dream in comparison, though the discussion on whether a queen (and by extension all of humanity) is an animal was an interesting one to have in a Catholic school. (For the record, we took a vote: CP thought we were animals, CE1 didn't. Frankly the CP were behaving like animals so I'm not surprised by that vote.) I think the teacher was just concerned that we were being mean to the Queen when I reported it to her later (everyone here is terribly keen on the royal family and are quite shocked when I reveal that not everyone in Britain is so keen).

Mr B had some not brilliant news on something that was looking rather positive, but it was - regardless - a rather positive day.
