Have I already told you about the penguin on a plane? As discovered and shared by my lovely friend Yolande. If not, see above link. It is indeed very soothing and I'm thinking of having an emergency photo-of-penguin-on-a-stick that I can deploy in a chocolate deprived meltdown.
Other things that are cheering me up are a) Wonders of the Universe is on and Brian is up a mountain somewhere in a pair of natty mittens talking about bending time until it stops. I think someone did that during period 4 today. It went on for at least three normal human hours. I don't quite know how this was achieved as I'm not really listening properly but it sounds more complicated than the offside rule. b) I'm contemplating starting an annual snail race at school (Congham rules).
What? there's just been a bit about black holes which may be 'smaller than an atom or a billion times bigger than our sun'. Bit vague isn't it? Has Brian just worked out he lost everyone in the first 5 minutes of the programme?
It gets better, black holes are some of the 'most violent places' in the universe. Now that I can sympathise with.
c) My requested books arrived at the library. Hooray!
In which a librarian attempts to give up chocolate for Lent, in exchange for much needed items to support a school in Nepal. Go ahead, laugh at her misery.
No pain, no gain
Who would want to give up chocolate? Not many people, including me. Obviously I had a mad 2 minutes in which it seemed like a good idea, but that was weeks ago and I've come to my senses now. All too late though, I had already committed myself to the fabulous 'Stuff Your Rucksack' scheme for a trip to Nepal in April. This will see me forced to leave the kitchen sink behind and instead fill my rucksack with far more useful things to support the work of Nepal Schools Aid (UK) with disadvantaged children in Kathmandu.
Instead of financial support I am seeking donations of coloured paper/crayons/finger paints/maps/plastic letters to take to Nepal. If you would like to make a financial donation though, it would of course be very welcome. Please click on the link to My Charity page.
*Update - educational posters are also urgently needed as a priority!*
