I thought that 2 Degrees was a phone company.

 Well, it's 2 degrees in Nuova Lazio this morning!

I'm not at work again this morning. Schools are sending kids (year levels) home as part of their industrial action. They obviously don't think of the impact on relievers. Though I have heard, through the grapevine, that Nuova Lazio High is still bringing in some relievers. It seems that, after five years relieving there (when they were really desperate for relievers) and a total of eighteen years at the school, I don't count anymore.

Beh, che stronzata!



PLAGARISM.

I came across this book.


Can you guess which book it might have stolen its ideas from?
The first page might help.


And to think that poor old Ed Sheeran got into trouble for using a few familiar chords!

Bloody good that he got off!

I mean, do you know how many songs there are that go | C  A7 | Dm7  G7 | ?

Of course, there are many slight variations too - 
 | C  Am | Dm  G7 |        | C  C#dim7 | Dm7  G7+5 |  and the list goes on.

'THE DINOS ON THE BUS'?

COME ON!



Okay, okay, I know that Peter will be skim reading through all that to get to the latest news on my back room bedroom / storeroom. Here are some pictures.

The bed in its new position. Notice the new
headboard.

A clothes rack placed strategically to hide
the storeroom part from the bedroom part.

Today I'll pick up another clothes rack to hide
this view. There'll be a 'door space' between the 
two clothes racks.

Now that NLHS doesn't seem to want me anymore, after 18 years (loyalty?), I'm thinking of setting up a business as an interior designer. I'm sure that Peter would be happy to write me a glowing reference!

I cleaned up the frame on this picture. It hangs on the wall just above the bed head, right next to 'sneaky looks' Jesus.*

It tells us on the back of the frame, "Stephanie Prowse
age 11."





She's 38 now. Here is how her work has developed over quite a few years (27 years, though the one above is very special to me).

Sorry, the paper needs straightening out. 
I'll get onto this.







Steph obviously inherited genes from my mum (her Grandma).

Bassist Ron Carter. He displayed this on his 
Facebook page. Sorry, it's a lousy photo.


Another lousy photo. Sorry.


I wonder what grade Peter will give me for this post?

Sorry, Robert needs a mention too. Rob, notice that the nail hole in the picture wouldn't have held Jesus up.




Ciao tutti.







* He's watching both of you, Peter and Robert!

" ....I don't count anymore."

Well, then it makes sense. Can you still write and spell.

Yeah I got that bus thing.

I was about to make a comment that you should consider becoming an interior designer - since you can't count anymore and your teaching credentials are suspect but then, read on and saw that you thought the same thing.

Steph has great talent.

What's going on with that old Spanish guy? It looks like his helmet is on fire.

I wouldn't presume to grade such perfection.

Lynn though would give you a 2 out of 10 for the tidying up effort. I know because that's about the average I get.

I didn't expect you to write a six chapter book!

"Can you still write and spell." Yes, and I can use punctuation marks (?) too.

"Yeah, I got that bus thing." What? See where I added a comma.

"What's going on with that old Spanish guy? It looks like his helmet is on fire." Time to get a new glasses prescription.

Well, I've 'written' the final chapter. Just for you!
