I had to climb out of my own house over the fence this morning. I think having twigs in my hair will be a permanent condition from now on. This is getting more and more exasperating.
In other news, it's
cucharita's birthday today. My present for her is a paid account, but I couldn't arrange it yesterday because of the... upheavals. Will do it tonight. She seems a tad depressed. However, she did distribute Malteasers all round, which was nice and honeycomb chocolate-y.
They did the To Kill a Mockingbird extracts in assembly this morning. They were all very good, with the exception of the guy who played Judge Taylor. Um, crap.
Nothing else, I guess. I think Biology deserves a mention because of the (attempted) dissection of a sardine. Between us, Meg and I managed to stab a scalpel into the fish's swim bladder - yellow gunk all over the place. I swore I would kill myself if it was fish for lunch. It was pasta. My life is safe.
Tired now. Am not looking forward to going home tonight and getting back over the fence.

How did Pedar get in last night? Was the ladder put to use again? I hope someone will be able to come up with a way to fix your gate problem, like, Real Soon Now. Can't be much fun climbing the fence every time....

on 2003-03-19 09:07 am (UTC)Pedar got in with the ladder and a little help from me, perched in the tree above his head. At some point this afternoon, the gates started working spontaneously. So, in order to stop them opening and closing however many times we pressed the controls, I flicked the power off again. They're now stuck open, which isn't brilliant, but so much better than their being stuck closed, and I'm planning to wash the last of the twigs out of my hair a little later on. Things are Getting Better... :)
