Yup, enjoying my first official few days of half term by staying in Cov with the sisters. May actually be staying for longer because Moffy's fuel pump was doing intersting things on the way up here and just after I'd got lost trying to find Tesco's somethng started going clank and, according to the AA guy, one of the vlave seats has blow....fun. I was supposed to be rotating wheels and fixing my gear box and speedo cable while I was up here. Now I have to ring the AA when I'm ready to go home and get Moffy into a garage ASAP....bless!
Still I did have the fun of driving to my Granny's house (which fabulously in the middle of nowhere) in a band new rental Peugot 207...very shiny!
So the rest if the week (especially getting to Wythall this weekend) is going to be highly entertaining! i can't get it into the garage here and there are 2 rigth next to my house at home - and Ireally need my car next week + I have a meeting tomorrow otherwise the sensible thing would be to stay here until Monday...ah well, sensible is rarely the start of a 'grand adventure'!

Calzone in the oven....
No, no.....no euphemism. I have branched out into a new section of cooking. Right now my flat is filling with the smell of baking dough filled with cream cheese, cheddar and pesto and it smells gooooood. I'll take a photo when I get it out and post it!
I also made my first coffee cake of living here and, even though I was lacking Baking Powder, it turned out pretty good - yey! Now all I need to do is get the door of my oven to shut properly and I should be away :)
Hmm, what been happening? Well, last week I went back to Wythall for Isaac's Dedication which was lovely *fuzzy* I got spend some time The Sirrel's,and the Brown's which was fab and it was nice to feel properly as home somewhere for a bit.
My flat is feeling more homely. I think I need to put some more stuff up on the walls, my bedroom isn't very cosy - although it is spacious. And, as yet I haven't had to turn on the heat...yey. Also Moffy started every morning this week which was lovely, even meant I was at school early every day because I had to go out early in case I needed to catch the bus!
So tomorrow is my first time playing in church, I did about 40min practise today, kinda scary to be playing the 'cello for the first time in public in oooo 10 years...... blimey, had to think about than then! Gosh.
Stuff at school is going really well. This is the last week of this half term so I'm planning on doing some practical demos for the various departments in my PST team, Teaching the SM team how to prepare a props table, the Design team are starting their boards, the props team are doing some stuff, the Publicity team are starting work on the programme and putting up a noticeboard of photos. The Techs have got some gel sorting to do....fun! Still it'll help them learn the colours and sizes! Plus I have my LX desk training day on Tuesday so I'm really looking forward to getting stuck in this week :)
Plus I'm finding out more about the expedition stuff, Peru sounds cool - but who knows!!!!
