Well we’ve still got three weeks before school finishes for the summer. However the attitude of many of our students seems to be Exams are over so I’m not coming to school anymore. This is made worse by the fact that next week is Eid and so school is closed for the week; then weContinue reading “4. End of term looming.”

3 Flying like lead balloons.
Of course we had to do our test flights. I wanted to go out to the outside balcony overlooking the sports field – actually it is an astro-turf football pitch – but they all complained that it was too hot outside. Back home in England I would be facing the opposite problem with students demandingContinue reading “3 Flying like lead balloons.”
2. The last few days
It’s the end of year and so to everyone’s deep joy it is exam time. Some of the students have been really good to me by inventing pointless answers to some of the questions and basically just writing random numbers for answers. One of the Year 7 boys decided that every question requiring an answerContinue reading “2. The last few days”
School blog – Intro
So the UK didn’t quite work out how I expected. Coming home? Home is where the heart is, so they say. Clearly my home is no longer Liverpool. I suppose realistically I left that ‘home’ at 19 when I went off to the Polytechnic. A new life, a new world, a new set of people;Continue reading “School blog – Intro”

Rather than say an Orc is good it is best to say some of them are less bad than the others. This is Politically Correct Adventure Doublespeak. InContinue reading “N 0ther chapter”

First Adventure is “Strange Things from Uranus” I just checked and I have well over one thousand followers for my blogs, and over one thousand ‘friends’ on LinkedIn. I am sure that means there is a good market out there just dyingContinue reading “The Adventures of Fairy Hanny”
Chapter n + 1
More talking “So there must be lots of these Spyders by now,” said Steve. “I heard that Spyders breed like rabbits!” “That can’t possibly be true,” said Greg. “Rabbits are mammals so therefore the young are carried internally by the mother until birth. They then have to be weaned and fed milk from the mammaryContinue reading “Chapter n + 1”
Chapter 20
A far-out night in Far – That what must it be! Escape from Wails was complete. It was clear to Peter that Both contained some painful memories for Hanny; she had denied him amongst her oldest friends. He knew at this point in the narrative that he was madly in love with that fairy ofContinue reading “Chapter 20”
Chapter 19
A Bridge to Far. Climbing slowly upwards from the Vale of Glam Organ (where lived a girl of some renown) the party followed the old Roaming Road toward the bridge over troubled waters. Offal’s ravine was at its narrowest at this point due to him having a bit of a hangover on the day heContinue reading “Chapter 19”
