Friday

Well - the roads were very quiet during the England v Brazil match, whilst I was driving to school no 1. Somehow, I thought I wouldn't see many pupils in the first couple of hours, and as I opened the car door & heard the racket coming from the school hall, my suspicions were confirmed. Hundreds of children were sounding just like football hooligans as England slid out of the competition. I braved the shouting for a while, and then sat with tea, biscuits and a book in the staff room. Eventually the flute teacher joined me, and after the match we just lumped all violins and flutes together to play a couple of tunes. Nice easy start to the day.
