Feeling at Home at last.

I'm at Granville on Mon, Wed & Thurs this week to cover for a science teacher who is on the school skiing trip.
I got away at 3.00pm on Monday & drove up to York to see aj. There are 15 miles of roadworks on the M1 not far from the M42 junction, it was cold & raining so it was a long hard journey taking over 2 hours.
I took bottles of milk, wine & a bowl of salad. aj cooked pizza.
We caught up on the news, put the world to rights & watched TV.
We left the milk.


On Tuesday morning we went to Wetherby for a potter around, home for lunch & then a walk into Acomb in the afternoon to stretch our legs, before returning home in time to see the installation of Barack Obama - a moving event.
If only we had an equivalent politician who could unite the nation & give some hope of a new approach for the future.
Perhaps the US would swap him for GB, we could throw in Darling Alistair & Peter Mandelson for good measure.
The poem was disappointing & poorly read by it's author.

We had an early night & aj brought me a bowl of porridge in bed sometime before six this morning. I left by 6.30am, arriving at Granville at 8.40am after a gruelling drive in the rain & frost.

I've had a good day, teaching science for 4 out of 5 lessons in the same lab (a real tip), & two year 11 classes .
I begin to feel at home & part of the school.
Great.
An early night needed.

Very windy here.
