I have slipped out of the habit of blogging again, and it became harder and harder to start again. So I am taking this opportunity to write a post whilst waiting in school.

Tonight is the school open evening, where prospective parents come round the school to see if they would like to send their son here next September. The idea is that they look round the potential schools in the area to see which ones they like and then state their preference on their application for secondary school. In principle it seems like a good idea, but we are likely to receive 500 applications for 120 places, so in the end it may not make a great deal of difference.

The evening starts at 6pm, with staff needing to be here early, so I have chosen not to go home in between school and the open evening. This way I maximise my rest rather than sit in traffic, but what that does mean is that I left for school before 7am and won’t get home till about 9.15pm. It will be a really long day!

But at least I have nothing planned this weekend so should be able to spend it with Hazel and the cats.

I am pledging online to try and blog three times a week. Please tell me off if I fail.
