on a (weather) roll now

apparently the weather is due to pack up again. after today i'm not sure i trust weatherpeople. it was supposed to get up to 20 degrees today. it didn't. we took the students swimming and they froze their nads off (even the ones that don't have nads). one boy even went blue.

on a completely different note, just cos i feel like bitching, yesterday i taught johhny cash's 'my grandfather's clock' in assembly. some of our students go to the lowest place and leave the 'l' out of clock. i thought i'd get in first (didn't say the word though...that would be wrong). i have done this every time i have taught it to my syndicate. turns out some staff took offense. which is fine...i work with some people who have no sense of humour and some others who are fun police. but they didnt have the balls to come see me about it. they reported me to the boss. you know what? it is bloody hard getting up in front of 360 11 and 12 year olds and singing. i'd like to see them do it. plus, if you think that 'they wouldn't have thought of it if i hadn't mentioned it' you'd have to be pretty naive. every time i teach this song they change the words. and as for 'maybe you should choose another song'. the kids loved singing it.

get over it and piss off.

weatherbomb

we are supposed to be hit by a weatherbomb this weekend. things are being cancelled left, right and centre. nothing has really hit yet so maybe it is a storm in a teacup (pun intended). i have blogged now in the before hand of it so i can blog in the afterwards to see if the weatherman was correct.

on a different subject. someone i know blogged on 29 feb just for the hell of it. wish i'd have thought of that! doh!

see you after the weekend.
