Child assesses my infractions!

Water-bucket relay, getting pissed off with usual suspects (Yuki, Hikaru, smug face, bad little one, Manato). Tie stamping a new diversion. (Re-reading my notes, I am not sure what I mean either!)

Chikuwa & carrots for lunch, escaped green class to make something from Hungry Caterpillar. Days & numbers/fruit? Needed the time to sit & think about it, formulate a lesson plan as I was making the bits & pieces. This will work; that's stupid; that will take too long I should do it myself; the size is wrong; the font is wrong; there aren't enough components (need to divide by 32) etc.

Excursion to the fire brigade, same lot as above being shits. Guess the brigade will be busy tomorrow with typhoon damage? Fresh & breezy this afternoon. Job again to make sure nobody runs into a moving big red truck, gets their head stuck in a fireman's wellie or finds too much fascinating gravel.

Yuki bounced off me three times in succession in the corridor....
Strike One: a full on head charge saw him bounce into the shoe boxes.
Strike Two: a ramming assault = stood on the front of his shoe, landed on his bum a bit too hard.
Strike Three: punched me in the legs until he hurt his hand.
Funny thing was, he did an actual recount (like a referee justifying a yellow card) in the corridor pointing out where my offences had taken place. Wandered off to consider other options (such as behaving?).

A pair of twin engine passenger jets flying towards Nagoya this morning, line astern but relatively low. Very strange and something I have never seen before. Did not show up on FlightRadar24...

Red Bull dawn

Needed a shave and a Red Bull this morning, after a too late a night watching a favourite old Aussie TV show. Did imbibe a little too much as well, truth be told, which may have dented my enthusiasm for  fried chikuwa/cucumber salad in Minnie's class when I eventually got there (was allowed to be late due to my own daughter's event first thing this morning). Have to admit, they are good about factoring in this kind of commitment.

Did I miss something from Legs11 & the chance to have a siesta this afternoon (Lord knows I needed some shut eye - but chance of waking me up again pretty poor!).

Self-defense & miso soup

Blowing Bubbles - as I'm sure Sam Allardyce won't be next season

Got pushed off the slide (and poked with sticks) & felt vulnerable with two hands busy in the air while cods exposed. Situation normal, really, but not a lot of fun. Only defense I have left is a knee in the air, which is a tad dangerous (but stunningly effective).

On the early shift (surprise) so not a brilliant lesson plan today; needed to overcome thudding of taiko in the hall next door as  well as well - barely hear myself think let alone deliver a lesson. Mostly circle time today + Choriso & the little lot; pass ball hello hello hello how are you to next person, & stop the music > my name is...seemed like an ok pace to me; never get any timely, formal feedback nor time to reflect myself.

Tureen of hot miso soup on bare legs not good; swapped places with Bacardi to help clean up. Odd lunch today = parsley chikuwa, carrot/fish sausage & sesame salad, flavoured rice & milk. Champion.
