Drove to Burleigh from Olwen's this morning and arrived at 8.20am. How come I'm always early for work arriving from Cheshire, and right down to the wire from Ruddington?
Last night Jo did some guitar work for me on the Cleopatra track, basically doing what I'd already done but with much greater skill and elan. The track now sounds great. Just got to clean up the vocals and then present it to Paul.
Went to Alton Towers with 100 students and six other teachers today - trips day. There are 3 grades of theme park goer according to the guide writers; young kids, fun lovers, and thrill seekers. According to their criteria I'm intermediate between kids and fun lovers. A sort of developing fun lover. Well, I hate heights, and I don't like rides that go fast unless I'm driving, or rides that go round and round. But the gardens were lovely.
I did go on the rapids and the log flume with four young female members of staff. Naturally, we had a wet t-shirt competition which, unfortunately, I won. I felt degraded by the whole process. Women are such sexist pigs.
Just before we boarded the buses to come home there was a fight between two lads. Another teacher restrained one of the students. The student got very hyper about this and was claiming he'd been 'pushed around' by the teacher. This nicely illustrates another daily danger teachers live with. Luckily I saw it all, and the teacher acted quite properly, in the interests of both students, using reasonable force. Have to deal with the lads tomorrow.
