The children round here are charming and sweet until they reach about 12 years old. Then their repertoire includes taking all the sweets left out, smashing pumpkins, pulling down decorations, kicking doors, throwing fire crackers and knock-and-running. I'm so tempted to do what my Dad used to and chuck a bucket of water over them. (Eek, now I'm really feeling curmudgeonly.)
Wild edges,a school in Eastbourne, unsure if I am meant to name it on here. If one of the grandkids was ill,my daughter at work,and I needed to collect them, she has to ring ahead, this was the last school. This last one (they're both at High school now) although I was down as emergency contact,I still didn't have full access to everything that has happened. One morning I was late because of the volume of traffic,after being buzzed in the gate,I had to go to a little lobby by reception, door locked and the teacher came out into the lobby, I wasn't allowed any further. My curmudgeon,I had a triple nectar points voucher for fuel,was going to fill up Sunday,in the back of my mind,was thinking I needed to do it...also wanted a particular colour thread... what with the 2 previous day's (hubby I'll, hospital) I didn't bother,and it expired on Sunday!!
1st November and I'm sat at my desk with the window open. It's better than needing the heating running that's for sure. I had to get up in the early hours to shut the bedroom windows when the wind picked up though. Couldn't find the key for the windows anywhere but figured out that my wife must have left it in one of the kids' rooms. Youngest boy climbs like a monkey so all windows are locked in the vent position and have secondary restrictors too just in case.
The auto spelling checker I've installed says I should type "I are sitting at my desk"
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
