So, its the first day of a new term. The boys are sunburned, the teachers all have 2 weeks worth of hangovers and the sky is dull.

The staffroom is empty and I assume that everyone else has work to do, as do I as it happens – heaps of it… but I can't quite shake that 'can't be arsed' feeling.

In addition I have blushed 3 times this morning already, I really should try to get a grip of my blood flow. I'm hoping that my new and freckly tan might go some way to hiding it but the fact that the good looking PE teacher has made it known that he fancies me is really not helping.

When I was 14 I was a bit of a geek. I mean, not big time – I still smoked and drank with the best of them and hid the steady stream of A's that I seemed to pick up. One thing was for sure though – I didn't exactly have my pick of boyfriends! Now it seems very ironic that the best looking boy (well man actually) in school has a crush on me when I am all happy and content in my relationship… oh, and I'm 29! I wish I had a time machine so that I could go and tell the pasty faced mousey haired girl sobbing on her bed into her diary how life moves on.

As a final, and unrelated note – please don't pick me up on my spelling etc. here on my blog. This is my down time place, where I don't have to proof-read my work. Sometimes I just chose to hang out and relax – and it is certainly not an indication of how well I do my job. Which is very well, actually.

So lemon squash, or whoever you are pretending to be, please go back to 20six and leave me alone, you just can't be offended by what you don't read. And as a word of advice, I think your recent comments have made you look like to twat, not me – but that's probably why you didn't use your 'real' name.

One of the Rabbi's did a really touching assembly this morning about appreciating every tiny thing you hear and you see. Which is one of the reasons that I am so pleased that London had her best dress on today, and that my face felt warm and that the bus driver smiled.

 This is what the Rabbi quoted:

Perfect.
