Aching already from Boxercise yesterday, I made it worse - but also better - by running 5.4 miles and doing another 30 minutes of core exercises. 

Swapped back name tags and fun with my colleague who had mine (we blame exhaustion after the aforementioned exercise class yesterday for the switch)

A y5 child looked at me as I left school and said "You're wearing glasses. You like a gangster." Not my intention but it amused me! I suppose it's a compliment...

Henning Wehn - love him! So so funny! 

John and I went to see Henning Wehn at Birmingham Town Hall and had a great evening. And we got a souvenir pen too which now belongs to Isaac! 

Y2 make me smile every week: this week it was great excitement over naming 2D shapes in Spanish. Unfazed by the IWB crashing in the middle of the lesson we had a lovely morning before I had to move on to Y5.

Marking this morning, I found out that one of my pupils thinks there's a Christian denomination called the Quackers! 

Smiled too as one of the y6s who causes me most angst on a Wednesday afternoon had a really good lesson and I was able to reward him with a marble for the class and a sticker for him (he was so happy!)

Y4 and I joined the people in Trafalgar Square for the two minutes silence at 11am. One lad saluted for the entire two minutes. 

Y6 betting on the meaning of verbs also made me smile, especially as a lad who dodged my lesson last week by 'forgetting' that his music lesson wasn't at the start of the lesson but at the end  was very very reluctant to go this week!

I survived a lesson observation today - always makes me smile when not everything goes pear shaped ;)
I left school at a decent hour.
Shopping arrived promptly.

It's the little things!

I love running. It makes me smile - even when it hurts. And I enjoyed my run today, even if I forgot to switch my Garmin back on after I stopped to do up my laces!

Football boot shopping isn't my favourite task but it meant we had a Costa coffee and cake :)

Classic lines in Dr Who. 

HIT training this morning - hard work but very satisfying, even with a "pain in the arse"
