Spidey’s Serene Sunday – Part 126

“I’m so tired, my tired is tired.” – Anon

Seriously, Spidey, you hit the nail on the head with this one!

Currently writing this with matchsticks holding my eyes open… (not really, but that’s how tired I am!)

I have been running on adrenaline and my second wind the last few weeks, but Saturday morning, it really hit me!

I had to get up a little earlier to get the grocery shopping done, because I had a nail appointment…

All important stuff. We need food. I need nice nails!

I would usually go on a Thursday evening after school but we have a wedding this weekend in Birmingham, a three-hour drive away. So I will be packing stuff on Thursday night.

To avoid getting up at 5 am to get ready and drive there on Saturday morning, we have to go to Birmingham on Friday night, in the traffic, straight after I finish school for the year.

At least I get to stay with my parents for one night, but seriously, I will be shattered!

But I am falling asleep at the thought of the weekend already!

It’s not that I don’t want to go to the wedding. I love a good get together, but this is not a function from my side of the family, it is a distant relative from the in-law’s side, so forgive me if my heart isn’t in it this time!

And yes, my six-week school break is there, languishing ahead of me, but will I be laying across a Chaise for the whole time, doing NOTHING?

Heck no!

The first week, I will be back in school, clearing the classroom and preparing for the next academic year!

Then the week days are relatively clear, but every weekend, we already have invitations to functions!

I will have to draw the line somewhere!

So, I shall attempt to have a restful Sunday, so I feel slightly more sprightly for the last few days of term with my darling kids!!!

Have a great Sunday and a wonderful week, Peeps!

 

 

#SoCS July 15/17 – Book Title

Thank’s Linda for a real doozy this week!

The #SoCS prompt this week is…

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “book title.” Take the title of the book you’re currently reading or the one sitting closest to you when you’re ready to write your SoCS post and base your post on the title only. I’m not asking for a book review or a synopsis, just whatever the title itself brings to mind. For example, Gone Girl makes me remember the first time I left home to live by myself. Or Lord of the Rings makes me think of all the rings I’ve owned in my life. Enjoy!

Ok, so the book I am currently reading is called My Dad Wrote a Porno: The fully annotated edition of Rocky Flintstone’s Belinda Blinked by Jamie Morton, James Cooper, Alice Levine and Jamie’s dad, Rocky Flintstone (Author Name obvs!)

Wow! So what came to mind when I thought of ‘My Dad Wrote A Porno’…

Noooooooo!!!!!!
OMG! That just could not happen!!!!! I can only think of my Pops as a spiritual, loving dad, with Yogic tendencies, not that Porn, or suchlike would ever be exposed to him!!! (literally, figuratively, EVER!)
And I am not even going to think any more about it lol!
I know they did ‘it’ at least twice, and my brother and I are proof of that, but apart from that… *fingers in ear* singing “nah nah nah nah nah nah nah! I can’t hear you !”

Sorry, Linda, that’s my lot, I feel a little disturbed now lol!!!!

Ritu’s Healthy Eating – Week 49 – #icandothis

Another week of tiredness, and still conscious efforts made to eat better.

Yes, there have been naughty snacks, and that Pizza meal happened, but here’s most of what I consumed last week!

 

Was it worth it though?

Well, it was indeed!

I lost that 1.5lb!

Yay!

Feeling more motivated despite the tiredness now!

Have a wonderfully healthy week Peeps, and when I log in to chat about weight next I’ll be euphoric because it will be that la\st day of school for the summer! One week to go!!!

 

Metamorphosis In Action

The life cycle of a butterfly.

It’s a common topic amongst classes in primary school.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar story is read and all sorts of songs are sung about the changes that happen in that life cycle.

And there are so many activities that come from the story!

We often have the caterpillars in a special net to watch turn into chrysalises then butterflies. In fact, one of my colleagues’ father breeds them so she will bring over 100 ready, in a special net enclosure for the children to watch, and when the resulting butterflies come out, they have a mass letting go session!

But nothing beats nature, let’s be honest!

A few weeks ago my class patiently planted some seeds and the Nasturtiums had grown, and were almost ready to flower… until we noticed that something had been eating them!

And what we found, or actually what my pupils found, was amazing! There were dozens of caterpillars!

As we hunted further, we found eggs and have been watching them over the last few days, and have a range of caterpillars now from 1 mm long to at least 4 cm! I am hoping they at least get to see some real chrysalises too before we break up!

They’ve not left much in the way of leaves on one side!

And we even found a cabbage white caterpillar!

As I said, there is nothing quite like Nature to teach a child a lesson!

 

Messenger #writephoto

Sue’s #Writephoto prompt this week.

corvid in flight - Sue Vincent

Black-winged messenger
Soaring through the skies
On a mission to deliver
Words to the unwise.

Black-winged messenger
Gliding to his destination
To speak his words of wisdom
To the assembled congregation

Black-winged messenger
With feathers widely fanned
Delivering a message
Bringing peace throughout the lands

Ritu 2017
