I am about to go out for the evening. I have had a phone call from my OH and she is on her way home now, although she won't be back until about midnight, so I will definietly be home by then.
They have organised a funeral date, but I don't think I will be able to go because of work. I have never been in a school that has allowed staff time off for funerals unless it's immediate family. My last school made one teacher find their own replacement for the time off is she wanted to go to a funeral!

Anyway, I hope she gets home safe. I kind of feel guilty about going out tonight, but I think I need it and deserve it.

I hope you all have a good evening.

The Internet Auction
A poem by CJ

This Internet auction is quite an addiction
There are minutes to go and now time’s a restriction.
I’ve just placed a bid on an item most curious
If someone outbids me I’m gonna be furious
The time goes quite slowly, the seconds are ticking
And how many times have I refreshed by clicking?
But the end is in sight, and champagne I’ll be swiggin’
Damn! I’ve just been outbid by a welder from Wigan!
