July 24th Today it actually feels like I’m on holidays. Still feeling guilty about my over indulgence on Friday night I started a bit of a health kick. I went for a jog and had some fruit salad. July 25th I went for a jog again, and then went to the gym. Beck organised some of our flights for later in the year to Scotland and Italy, but our flight home is still a source of frustration. I finished the book Colin lent to me called ‘Suicide Squad’ which is about organised soccer hooligans from Burnley - bit of an eye [View Full Entry]

Kate went home early in the morning, and then we went and caught the train as well. We were heading to Colchester to see Cherita (Dad’s cousin) and Gerry. We had to catch the train in to Liverpool Street and then back out to Colchester. The train was running a bit late, but when we arrived Cherita and Gerry were patiently waiting for us. Cherita has been fantastic for us this year, checking to see if everything is ok, and whether there is anything she can do for us. We went out for lunch chatting away and catching up. After lunch [View Full Entry]

To say that I pulled up pretty ordinarily would be an understatement. Matty was a late inclusion into the side which gave me some extra time. A cold bath, and some panadol breathed some life back into me. We ended up bowling first again! I took the first two catches at slip, and then they put on a big partnership. It was drizzling by the time I bowled, which made it difficult in runners. I thought I bowled well, but still went for a lot of runs. 9 overs, 1/60. It was a fast outfield, good pitch, and the batsmen got [View Full Entry]

A bad accident on the A13 had banked traffic up, and due to this there was no lesson one at school. After school I called around and saw Matty who looked better. Then I went to the gym. We watched ‘Gone In Sixty Seconds’ before going to bed. July 18th I had to supervise behaviour detention after school, which is a long hour. Then I called in to the Senior Staff Meeting which I had been invited to, to give my impressions of the school. Then I caught the train home, and called in to see Matty on my way to [View Full Entry]

Today we caught the train in to Kentish Town to go to the infamous Church. Due to engineering works we had to catch a bus from Camden Town, and I thought we were running late, but Chriso was on the bus behind us. The queue wasn’t anywhere near as bad as last time, so we grabbed a doner and drinks for the line. After a little while Fraars and his old man Pete joined us, who had a nice bruise on his backside from Running of the Bulls. We got in pretty quickly, and they gave us plastic bags with 3 [View Full Entry]

In the morning I had two missed calls on my phone from Kia. I wondered what was up, but just put it down to more banter from the night before. Then Kia did ring, and it was bad news. Matty had been jumped by a group of blokes as they left the Queens, smashing him over the head with a bottle and then laying into him. From what Kia said, they had walked out together and a bloke had said something to Matt who ignored it, and then once they were passed they jumped on Matt from behind. They took Matt’s [View Full Entry]

Yesterday was a tease, as to what the holidays will be like. Today was back to reality. The day at school went smoothly and I went to gym afterwards. July 12th I had a pretty cruisy day today. I had to supervise my Year 7 class, and teach Year 9’s and that was it. I went to gym and then around to Ravi’s who burnt a CD for me. July 13th Tonight was our staff break-up. A few of us met at the Treacle Mine where the Party Bus was picking us up from. The bus turned out to be like [View Full Entry]

The fire alarm went off at 7 a.m which was alright by me as I was already awake, but the others weren’t happy, and there was no sleep in for Beck on her birthday. I went to Morrisons and got supplies, then I cooked bacon and egg muffins for everyone, with banana smoothies to go with it. Not being required to work on the training day worked out well to coincide with Beck’s birthday. Beck was on the phone for most of the morning to family and friends back home. Kez and Rod had organised for all of us to get [View Full Entry]
