You are too kind. So funny, your ‘n waiting!!

I went to our teacher/University researcher lecture last night. We had invited a children’s author. Aimed really at primary teachers. But I loved his ideas. His humour. His interactive style.

One of his books is called The boy who piddled in grandpa’s slippers!! There was not an interactive bit for that. Thank goodness …I might have had to volunteer. As it was I was the ‘ last chapter’ in the bit about structure. The shortest teacher in the room was chapter 1. Sharp short sentences to grab the reader. 2.3.4. Various height order teachers. Tall, long sentences for descriptives, getting the reader to ‘ know’ the characters. Short medio grande . So what was I, the last chapter? The tallest ( teachers are not very tall!), the crashing loud happy crescendo of the ending, promising a sequel to come, to grab the reader’s attention ( and earn the author more royalties!)

So when I gave the vote of thanks at the end. I said I would really try to use his ideas and write properly. As I only know how to sum and add and stuf. I only teach shortcuts and encryption. I can hardly spell, let alone do….’structure’.

I laughed out loud but it no laughing matter… are you in the middle of an infection, or what?
I had an email from S today… N still in ** but they’ve sold her house and are hoping (n waiting ha!) to find her a semi independent place somewhere suitable. I’m hoping to see her before too long.
Don’t go surfing too vigorously this Bank Holiday weekend. I wish
xx N
