Violent Femmes

With Bacardi in Legs11's class; like her a lot & her style but not as bouncy and in control of micro behavior. Does do things differently, especially praise. Obviously uses music more & has found scores for How's the Weather, and today's Ghoulie Ghost - this last edition of Jim Time was shite. I got hit a couple of times not playfully (after a fairly violent lunch). Go Away became flying kicks & punches, power slides & grabbing. Not in the mood on a Friday arvo.

Allied to this is feeling huge and having a really painful knee all week. Constant & fairly intense.

An appointment certifying one of our YLE examiners after classes.
All day Saturday to look forward to as well, workshop & Rei too. Work appointment after classes, meeting a publisher's rep for dinner & drinks. Get her talking about herself, give her some gossip, and enjoy the food (Doma Doma).

Wonky Donkey & lunch-box envy

Trying to remember the Wonky Donkey this am & think of actions

Spunky = brow wipe

Hanky Panky = hit wrists

Cranky = angry horns

Stinky Dinky = pinch nose & wave away a fart

Lanky = stretch

Honky-Tonky = guitar

Winky = wink

Wonky = hop foot to foot

Early start & tried to stretch it; lot of blank faces asked to draw a donkey, but wanted to do before video which they'd copy. Check out 30+ originals.

Mums hovering as they are observing tiddlers today.

One older kid having a 'mare & howling the place down; continues after the bell & is consoled a bit by friends, which doesn't do any good! I sit with her but that does sweet FA either. Old gate-ball playing lady pushes candy thru the gate (am sure her grumpy spouse would like to push her through the gate, miserable sod). Boss tempts howler away with promise to phone mummy. Boss carries her back into class all smiles 10 mins later & sits her down. Tells class Y has been told a big secret & she's promised not to say. Great strategy & makes her feel good, others jealous, not pitying.

Allan unusually industrious, taping things up; half school disappeared on an excursion. Boss redirects Allan & can see her lower lip drift to usual setting!

Meantime, long briefing from Legs11 that loses me, found a Wonky Donkey app & lined it up on YouTube with my phone. Treasure Hunt mums & toddlers looks engaging. Some of the mums look engaging too ;)

Bunked off to go to the convenience store as I had not brought my own lunch today (analog schedule I was given 6 weeks ago taped to my calendar at my office probably; old lady who has obviously never used an ATM in front of me! Enjoyed a/c in Seiyu, spoiled for bento choice but had to choose something unlikely to raise too much interest). Competitive mums as usual gone over the top prepping these precious morsels. No wonder they all look knackered. Just don't do it (but then my own wife does too...).

Saved a girl's shoe off a roof; got pissed off with K humping my leg. Earlier gave Tigger a rev in Madge's class for being persistently naughty/AWOL. Farming lot came back shattered. TGIF....
