I’ve had two bouts of mastitis and they were both awful. The only ‘good’ thing about mastitis is that once the antibiotics kick in, you feel a lot better very quickly.

I score consistently under 200, I am so out of my league with Scrabble! Still lots of fun though.

Scrabble stone by johnmartine63

Although I only have a few minutes for it each day I like the online games of Scrabble on Facebook. If nothing else it has taught me to only use my high value letters on the special squares which (somehow) I never fully understood until now.

I real life Scrabble I usually score between two and three hundred and I am hoping that with some minor but steady practice this will improve. Anyhow for those who care here is my online track record so far. My scores come first.

274 v. 246
348 v. 319
256 v. 280
229 v. 258
253 v. 283
319 v. 262
224 v. 392
301 v. 281
309 v. 283

For those who care this gives me an average score of a little under 280. I’d really like to be like Nicky and average a bit over 300.

Lesson for the day - I am a simple man with even more simple ambitions.

It is all the rage in education these days to have multiple and fluid groups of kids and a range of teachers working together and I don’t doubt that it has some merit.

All the same I quite like working in a room with just me and twenty kids. There is plenty of room for interaction between me and them and between kids. Of course I might like the alternative if I tried it but for now I am perfectly happy as I am.

Lesson for the day - sometimes direction means one person following their path.

Well I see that we’re coming to the end of the affair
There’s one final favour to ask of you my dear
Can we pretend that it was you on the receiving end?
And tell our friends that it was my idea?

I can’t adjust to the life of endless afternoons
Which one of us lives in this room?
I’ll take the bus to the clinic every Thursday
But the experts won’t know what the fuck to do

So if you hear someone calling at the bottom of the stairs
Sing a song to me in a voice that I can hear
Can we pretend that it was you on the receiving end?

I really like this song Evan Dando’s record Baby I’m Bored. Like many people I assume that the person singing wrote the song so I was thinking how clever he is. As it turns out T. Morgan & C. Brokaw wrote this tune. Evan Dando is still dead clever for choosing to record tunes like this and Frank Mills as well as performing them so damn well.

Lesson for the day - real fans find a way.

Childcare Girl
» ‎ Leila Rose

Leila spent her first day at childcare today and it was pretty much a success.

She was dye for a sleep when I dropped her off so the tears were completely expected and understandable. I left her in the capable hands of one of the carers who looked after Finn in the same room 3 years ago with no qualms at all.

Apparently she cried from when I left her until her sleep and was pretty happy after that for the rest of the day. She only vomited once but it was a big one which necessitated a complete change of clothes. When I arrived to collect her she was sitting up in a rocker watching the bigger kids play and was perfectly happy.

I expected that she might be a bit unhappy this evening as she often is after a big day out, but I was wrong. She was obviously tired, but a happy kind of tired which is pretty much a first. We had some minor grizzling, but otherwise she was all smiles up to, and including, going to bed.

It seems that childcare agrees with The Little Princess.
