Teacher training days just after school holidaysā¦
Why they canāt have them all in one big block at the start or end of a year is beyond me! If they did it would give the kids (and staff, do you really think they are training??) an extra week off and be easier for parents to work aroundā¦
My mate who is a teacher never does any training on inset days. They do an extra 1/2 hour every week and take the day off. Funnily enough two days always seems to bookend the Glastonbury weekend.
Why is it always raining and shit? Itās genuinely beginning to get me down. Since snow in December, its been continuous days of horrible weather. Rain, cloudy, windy, snow, ice, hail. There was one nice day last Thursday and that has genuinely been it. I reckon itās been 5 months of relentlessly shit weather.
Yepā¦I got my old car out on a sunny day in Februaryā¦20th Feb to be precise. It was the cars 60th birthday on 3rd April and was hoping to go for a run in it to to celebrateā¦not a fuckin chanceā¦still waiting for a clear day.
Weāve had an offer on an house accepted. So all the stress that comes with that. Estate Agents, Solicitors, Mortgage Brokers.
Had to attend an engagement party in Newark, which also involved several cancelled trains, delays and diversions. Granted, it was a lovely day - shudder to think how much is being spent on the wedding(s).
Our boiler has broken, of course the landlord is relying on me trying to solve all this - and being there whenever someone decides to show up - not like I have a job or anything.
And our Airbnb appartment in Barcelona for Primavera has just cancelled. Leaving us with the choice of either spending 3-4 times what we initally planned, or be on the other side of town with no hope of getting to and from the festival.
Heart feels like it is about to burst out of my chest.
Yes, I know it makes me a petty arsehole, but if I have been queueing 2 hours to get into rough trade with a stinking hangover you have another thing coming if you think I aināt gonna kick off at you.
Itās a lovely Saturday so why not take some stuff to the dumpā¦along with the rest of Cobham
Then find out the dump has turned into a Neighbourhood Recycling Center. Whatās that I hear you say? Itās a place where every single item you want to dump has to go into a different skipā¦fucking eco-mentalists!
I still find this annoying at bus stops in London where you just have to run to the door and hope you can squeeze on. Or when there is only a few of you, the one who was there first is likely the last on.
