A pretty thing

I was stuck for the blip image tonight. Conflict in my mind. I went with the pretty thing. i had something that was pretty gross, but relevant to my day. But I went with pretty.

There are two sets here - the other Gladioli and last nights shots from Pennington Flash

OFSTED

Long day.

Much irritation. Most of which is to do with the hot weather aggravating things.

My boss has used some pretty strong expletives today too.

I have got four parental interviews tomorrow.

I'm utterly knackered. But I am grateful for the fact that I have fantastic colleagues, that the kids I teach give me glimmers of hope and that Corin is here for me and keeps me fed and watered when I can't make it off the sofa.

And I am genuinely struggling to get off the sofa.

The major irritation (apart from inspectors) is that I have a particular type of exzema on my feet - its called Pompholyx exzema - without realising it, it developed last year, around this time, but cleared completely whilst I was at my mum's, barefoot for virtually 3 weeks. But its been back for over 2 months now - and its bloody horrible - and it goes in cycles - dry, itchy, bleeding, to hundreds of tiny fluid filled blisters, which then dry out again and so it begins - Both feet - inside the bridge and across my sole. Aggravated by the fact that I am on my feet all day, with shoes on and up until today I haven't been able to find a pair of sandals that have natural materials for the inside. However, from tomorrow - its sandals all the way. And a trip to the doctors before I go to Spain!

So be grateful - the gross picture was a close up of my foot!!!

Ugly Betty then sleepy times.
