Easter break has started!  Yippee Ki Yay!  School ended at noon today.  At 10:30 I was told I had to have my book order in by the end of the day.  In the 5 years I have been at the school I have never had a budget so have never dealt with regular orders.  I have to beg and scrape money from here there and everywhere for new books.  I've been asking for months, going to meetings, sending emails, trying to get money just to replace all the lost and broken books from the past couple years.  No answer.  Today at 10:30 they tell me to put in an order.  By 12:00.   Are you FLIPPING kidding me?!  I have no idea what I wrote down.  I just filled in as many order forms as I could in the time allotted.  4 pages.  Incredible.  I'll probably open a box filled with 50 copies of The Railway Children.  THE MOST BORING KID'S BOOK EVER WRITTEN. 

Grace and a friend fly in tomorrow.  They'll be here through Thursday.  We have no plans for the week apart from Sunday lunch with MIL at our usual Easter place and a BBQ with friends Monday.  GP and I are gong to a concert next Friday night.  For all you old timers like us a flash from the past.  We are going to see Simple Minds.  We loved them back in the day and when saw they were coming here to a smallish venue thought we had to go.  The audience will be all people in their 50's undoubtedly.

Old lady signs off.  xxoo me
