Instant gratification

A good day today all told. Lovely classes taught: my Y11s were their usual sunny selves - not quite sure when the reality of their looming exams will dawn but they are lovely company nonetheless; my Y12s who generally just got on with their work in preparation for a timed essay tomorrow and my lovely Y7s who I was informed are the only class who have actually been silent for their reading lesson in the Library. I didn't think it was that remarkable that we all sat reading for 20 minutes but apparently it was. Two meetings, only one of which was frustrating; a duty day when it was cold but not wet and collecting my parcels at the end of it all. There's nothing like next day delivery for a bit of instant gratification.  I was home to Bailey at a reasonable time so we had a walk around the biggest block with a stop off at the postbox. He enjoyed his walk which was good because he generally had to amuse himself for the rest of the evening whilst I played with my new gadgets. I am really pleased so far but I will need more time to get used to it properly before we go on our travels south to the sea at the end of the month.
