Today is Monday, a day nobody much likes, as we are back to work. I have to get a bus or walk to the academy at the moment, and today the heavens suddenly opened when I was on my way to the bus stop. It was too late to go back for an umbrella. I didn’t want to miss my bus. So I dashed to the stop, and to the academy building, but I still got utterly soaked. My shoes were squelchy, my t-shirt was wet, and my hair was dripping.

Add to that, it’s the day I promised myself I’d start tackling the science open class planning, our twenty year old Hyundai is in the car shop, and we have to move out for two days until they repair the seal on the toilet and I started to feel pretty miserable. Thankfully the kids cheered me up, laughing at my wet hair, giving me hugs, and telling me where they’d been at the weekend.
