An Uncrabby Update

'Look for the positives in every day,' they say.

Who 'they' are exactly, I do not know. If I find out, I shall invite them to come and spend time with my horrid Year 8 class, and then tell me to find something positive. But today I am willing to take the advice of 'they' so here goes.

1) The asparagus is coming up. I thought I had killed it before it had even started, with my random stab at trying to plant it properly with its little leggings draped over little trenches like little cowboys on little horses. But no! At the weekend I found a good dozen baby 'sparagi emerging from the bed. Hurrah!

2) There is an abundance of salad leaf product growing in the greenhouse so I am anticipating a lovely homegrown salad over Easter weekend.

3) Andy came home whistling last night and bearing a Black and Decker Workmate. If it floats his boat, I'm happy. He is already making wood working type plans for the remainder of the eucalyptus tree once it has been felled.

4) The man I telephoned to enquire about ordering a nucleus of bees kept calling me 'young lady' in a delightful Gloucestershire accent.

5) Two year 10 girls stopped me in the corridor today and said, 'Please don't ever leave the school, ma'am - you're the best English teacher we've ever had.' Poor things! I didn't have the heart to tell them...

6) My grand-daughter is lovely. And snuggly. And lovely. And I am so proud of the way Chris and Leane are coping as new parents.

7) I ignored school work planning last night and spent the evening sewing and reading about bees. Bliss!

8) I just had a hot cross bun with butter and it was delicious!

That's all I can muster for today, I'm afraid, because yet again I've had a crap day at work.

But hey! I am trying to end the day on an uncrabby note! I am planning, this evening, to do more sewing, and reading and NOTHING to do with school, and possibly to watch some rubbish TV, but mostly to do reading and sewing.

I hope your day ends with calm and peace and happiness. I hope it is more lobster than crab!
