Snow Days




Hi to all, it has really sunk in that i am here for the long haul this week, mainly because i started work. Those people that got hysterical emails about the most dismal revolting school in the world will be pleased to know that the rest of the week was much more pleasant and normal with classrooms with kids work and pleasant children who didn't belt into each other the whole time.




Anyway on Wednesday afternoon at school we were in assembly and the head told the kids that school would be closed on Thursday because a 'blizzard' was expected. The kids and myself were noticeably excited. On Wednesday arvo I rang my agency who said that people were panicking and as far as they new it would be school as normal.




On thursday we woke up to snow and it was still snowing, it snowed all morning. Most of the schools in London were closed so no work. My housemate and I (she couldn't get to work) laid on the couch watching tv and randomly getting up to go outside to take photos or plane in the snow for about 5 minutes which was about my limit because it was so cold.




Friday it was somewhat melted and school was back on. Friday afternoon it snowed again and thankfully I was safe and warm inside. Today (Saturday) there is nothing left of the snow but it is raining so it sounds like another nice day to lay around inside and pretend like the outside world isnt there.
