Any suggestions?

Right. I'm at a bit of a loss. I'm at my new job and there is currently very little to do. I'm in the school library (Obviously, being the librarian) which is entirely organised on little bits of cardboard. The most enthusiastic of kids will not come voluntarily to do extra work at lunch times and after school on the first two days of term. Frankly I'd be worried if they did. (Probably call them a big bunch of book-worm Jessies. "Get out in the fresh air. Go find some boys and hang around bus shelters and street corners, for the love of God!)

Next month the whole place is being refurbished and I get to order loads of cool stuff. I will start running structured lunchtime activities like current affairs quizzes, reading groups and themed days. Plus, people are bound to turn up just because they are nosy.

It's Roald Dahl day on Wednesday. It would have been his 90th Birthday. I am going to create a quiz in a minute and run it at lunchtime, with a prize! I am God's gift to Librarianship, non? Anyone with any ideas along the making reading/learning fun front feel free to post them and I'll probably steal them.

I shouldn't complain about not having much to do, should I? I've just had six weeks off. I'm going to be ridiculously busy next month, so I shall relish it. I am aware that I said I would be more interesting and some people (if there are any reading) may feel that this is evidently not the case. To you I say "Pah!" Give me some time to do something interesting. I should probably Write something about V. Yes... That's an idea...I shall think about that. This will all be a lot more convenient when I get a computer on my desk. Until then...

Hello. I'm back. Today is my first day on my new job. See link and picture.

I have been left to my own devices for a moment. I shan't talk long today but, reading over this blog, it occurs to me that I am very dull. From now on I shall write about interesting and topical issues in stylish, organised and literary fashion. Eh hem. Indeed. Watch this space.
