Earthquake practice - under tables & quiet, then head count in yard. Debrief with Minnie after was very good, as it involves kids making rules for themselves and explaining why such things are important. She is excellent at this; not preachy, not critical, not with a shopping list to tick items off. Full of praise for all ideas. A pleasure to see in action.
Swimming costume changing practice?! F%@^, just go to the pool & figure it out! Minnie pulls some bright yellow budgie smugglers out of a bag & waves them in air before realising she can't make her point with a g-string. Hilarious.
Can I help get changed?! T & A show once again; genuinely shocked to discover that K is a boy. Classic double take moment for me, a la Crying Game! Practice paddle with plastic, and the can't do anything prerequisite in Japan which is the lazy stretching & whistle instructions...Club Med all over again! This is where the do as you are told mentality comes from; bizarre!
Several postponements later, had about five songs with them at the end; this is OK because Minnie is very good (whereas the other class in the same entry-level age group is grumpy, frumpy & negative)
England already going home from the World Cup in Brazil, after just 5 days actually in it. Chris Waddle off a long run up with criticism well-aimed.
