Would you like to see my puppies?

Experimented with Audio Note today, but while handy is difficult to use with kids around because they want to yell into it, tap the screen or yank one or both of my arms out of a socket. Also need to listen & transcribe myself.

Happy again to be with Legs11 who engages with me from the start, says Hello and invites me to join in - important, because I am not tasked to leap up at the front and make a monkey of myself...not my classroom and I never know what the room teachers' plan for the day involves, and whether or not they want me to be there/actively participate, or be a wallflower, or use my skill & judgment to lean in and guide from the side when I see necessary. Hard to call this level of observer v teacher participation.

We did a song on request, but it was on the hoof & I completely forget what it was - a familiar one needless to say.

Lunch trying to get Boss & music station set up within sight of the yard - in this case the corridor window nearest the hedge. Still requires long distance telepathy but at least I can roam the yard! Re-chalked the colour words & hung large colour hints as well, same as yesterday basically: "I see something blue" - wait until I say "GO" then a mad scramble, with the destructive intent to wreck whatever poster was hanging there. Altogether 8 colours done, and re-did in the classroom finding colours in each others clothes etc. Walking Walking song and the Goodbye one on request.

Kid I have not interacted with before wanted to use me as a swing while Legs11 was running around in the yard athletically, which was good. Beautiful day & enjoyable, with the weekend to look forward to and GW on the horizon.

Rob's memorial day yesterday - FB activity suggests he was not forgotten, and brain cells suitably rearranged in Tokyo. Would not have known what to say if I'd gone.

Dan's visit from US cancelled due to appendicitis - very poor physiology that lad! Holiday plan in tatters, skint and keen to avoid grog. Chance of that?

An old man with a dog/puppies in the back of his van worries me considerably, hanging around at the school gates - in other countries would be lights & sirens and a bit of a chat down the nick. Am I the prev for thinking of worst possible situation?
