The last day of March and oodles of assessed practicals going on at school. No reported sightings of the art students who were all tucked away being creative. Occassional sightings of the theatre studies students gambolling around in costume seeking an audience for their drama pieces. A bit of hasty research needed into histograms (disappointingly, not a random singing historian but some sort of graph thing) and frequency density (sums, grimsters). And then a group of Year 12 scientists trampling about in the undergrowth peering at some ivy, under the watchful eye of a nearby biology teacher who explained 'assessed practical' with a glint in her eye that suggested she had made the whole thing up for a laugh. The scientists looked very intent though.
Exciting afternoon as the ever-cheerful BTEC PE crowd were in and they insisted on singing to me (though as we were in a library they did ask nicely first).
Bought some more chocolate covered coffee beans on the way home as my husband had discovered the first lot and scoffed them. So much for my carrot at the end of the tunnel.
Tomorrow it will be only two weeks until we set off. Woo-hoo!
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!*
