Today has been much like last Monday, except with a rather preoccupied and inattentive Year 11 added to the day of hell. They are certainly not interested in last minute revision. In fact, I had to bribe them not to run out of the classroom with the promise of a party. Therefore, I have just returned from Sainsbury’s, where I purchased several goodie bags, chocolates, crisps and sugary drinks. E-numbers-just the way to calm them down

I have been teaching my socks off. However, I feel much more relaxed after an extremely pleasant weekend, involving a nice trip to Broadstairs beach and a very poor performance at a ‘Wine and Wisdom’ evening. The wine was my strong point. Apparently, literature, despite what I may have thought, is not. Still, I find myself feeling positive and contented. Last week’s despair has been replaced by a cheerful, if slightly weary, sense of achievement. You are, no doubt, relieved to hear it. That said I have party games to organise.

Incidentally, while looking up an appropriate grammar quiz to thrill the aforementioned Year 11s with, I appear to have achieved divinity.

You are a GRAMMAR GOD!


If your mission in life is not already to
preserve the English tongue, it should be.
Congratulations and thank you!
