What a month

I didn't realise it had been so long since my last blog. A whole month, and what a month it's been.
There are 2 new kids in my class, neither speak any, or very little, English - 1 is from Afgahnistan and speaks Pashto, the other is from Austria and speaks Urdu, and I don't speak either. The boy from Afgahnistan is also probably 7 nearly 8 not 5 like his passport says, but there is nothing we can do about it.
We have also just had our first half terms assesment, so I have all that to mark, level and analyse by the end of tomorrow.
I also have to get next half terms RE planning for the whole school written before I can come home on Friday.
In the sport England have made it to the Rugby world cup final!!!!!!! How did we manage that? I had to go next door last Saturday to complain about the noise during the match. They were watching on terrestrial, us on Sky, which is about 5 seconds behind, so I knew Johnny had put the ball between the posts even before we saw him kick it by the screams of jubilation from the neighbours. But it was OK because we went round for drinks after to celebrate. And they wont be spoiling the final as they will be out, and so will we.
And then there was the F1 - I got up at 6.30am to watch Lewis bring home the World Championship, but he didn't finish so it's fingers and toes crossed for Brazil on Sunday.
And Amir Khan retained his commonwealth title in 4 rounds.
And I have had a birthday, so am now 28 (I like that number, not too young, not too old. 44 is a grotty number, even though it does have a degree of symmetry, it's just too big)
And it's only 4 DAYS till our CP!!!!!!!! Just about everything is sorted now. Just got to pick up the cake on Friday and take it to the restaurant, then get the flowers on Saturday. Then spend the evening in our suite at the hotel watching the match on one of the 2 flat screen TVs - one in the living room , one in the bedroom. I wonder if it's visible from the jacuzzi bath?
Then on Sunday we are flying off to Barcelona, after the Grand Prix, which I will probably finish watching at the airport.
So yes, a busy month since I last blogged. But watch this space for photo's of the big day. No, not the rugby, the other great match !!!!!!!!
