PHEW I'M BACK BLOGGING

Hey Mates

It's been toooooo long since my last epistle-which was just after my Goa trip. Life has been HECTIC! Teaxching in Scotland did give me 'some' free time
Anyway to update you...I had an unexpected visit home in Feb for a funeral and since then until now I have been chasing my tail.
Just before that trip home I had LOST a screed of my 'A' level course wo. There's this facility on the computers here at school called the 'pick up basket' Students and staff can send work to one another this way. I used this method frequently as it took large documents -like assignments. What I didn't know was that the 'pick up basket' was a temporary facility!! I had marked 12 assignments before I went off to Goa-thought I was the 'bees knees' When I went back to school at end Jan-GUESS WHAT--- NONE OF THE ASSIGNMENTS WERE THERE! I had lost all the assignments that I had marked NUTS!!
Of course when I went home I had left copious amounts of work for the children to do so I was marking day to day work as well as work that kids had finished in December!! To cut a long boring story short....I was marking non stop. All in all each pupil had to do 10 assignments. To say that I was freaking out is an understatement LOLOL. What it meant of course is that I did no writing of my blog . You'll be pleased to hear that all work is now completed AND marked and was sent off to the exam board on Monday 4th May. So my workload has eased considerably. In fact there's only six weeks left of school. My time at Hebron is coming to an end. I can scarcely believe how quickly the time has passed especially since Feb 2010.
The term from January to Easter was a busy time in the PE Dept as there was a huge Inter House Athletics Championships as well as a Swimming Gala. Times, lengths, distances, bla bla bla had to be sorted out in PE time. Parents came to school in the last WEEK and we had parent/ staff meetings as well as the countless other 'things' that went on- drama show, music stuff, Primary School Sports Day etc etc.Life is NEVER dull here!
During the last week of school Carys and Amy and Catriona came for a two week visit. It turned out to be a three week visit as they got stuck in Bangalore with the volcanic ash disaster! From facebook comments I don't think they liked that too much!!
This term at school there's Blue /Gold inter house sport going on nearly every afternoon!! Exams start next week and then there'll be all the end of year activities-farewell this and farewell that. I much prefer 'Hello's' myself...but 'What to do???'
I was asked to stay for another year or two...I said 'No' ...but who knows what might happen It's all in the lap of the Gods eh? I might come back for a short term stint-escape a Scottish winter
I should have pics for you but I had a disaster with my camera. I put some pics on facebook JUST this week and ALL the other pics on my memory card DISAPPEARED!! mY CAMERA READS -'FILE ERROR'!! Very annoying
Anyway send me LOTS of comments with all the news!! I'll be home in July
